Husband and I have been talking intently since 6pm. He's in bed now.
He said he's super proud of me and the ways I've changed and grown over the last 2yrs. He also said that he was amazed I went out running in a skimpy vest and short shorts today, because "old me" wouldn't have.

I would have constantly worried about how I looked but today I just wanted to be comfortable running in the heat. I'm so much less self conscious and also more confident with the way I look. He said "but you look good" and I can't internalise that but it's good to know.
I know, intellectually, that I am relatively slim even though I have a solid athletic build, and I do look okay in skimpy shorts and a baggy running vest. It's just hard after being in an industry there my body was constantly criticized for what it wasn't,rather than what it is.
I'm learning. I'm growing.
Also- it wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't slim. I see runners of all sizes every time I'm out and I think they are all badass. I have always felt that size and beauty are kind of unrelated (except when it comes to myself). The brain is a weird place.
