What has your new excercise/eating routines taught you about yourself?

I have learned a lot of thins about myself form my dietting and excercise --weight loss-- and was wondering about the rest of you. What has it tauht you about yourselves?

Well like so many people I have dietted a 100 times before, but never really followed through. I was a bit disillusioned by what I thought was doing, which was never enough. This time last year I started working out and decided that I wanted to lose about 40 pounds. My goal was to fit into a pair of size 7 jeans I have had for 7 years, that wouldnt fit. I was a size 16 when I first started, but I really didnt think I could do it. I would say "I will do it" and thought failure was not an option, but then I would think "well a size 11 is good too." About 5-6 months later I was a size 7 --and those jeans were too out of style to wear-- sinec then I have dropped to about a 5 (between 4 and 6 depending on the brand) and I have learned some things about myself.

I can do it- I just have to put myself into it. This means that whatever my goals in life are, I know I can acheive them. I am actually proud of myself, which isnt something I have ever felt before. It is actually a huge thing for me.

and

I can't take a compliment- I get embarrassed --and at times annoyed-- with people telling me how great I look now, blah blah blah.
