Wow! This concept of “liking what I see” used to torment me, too. I actually would stand in front of the mirror and practice negative self-talk in hopes that I would become disgusted with myself and do something about it (I know, how sick is that?!). Well, what do you know–it never worked! Finally at 30, I’ve figured it out. But I wish I had channelled my (burdensome) positive energy into “re-creating” instead of obsessing bout “losing” for all that time. Celeste, you are wise beyond your years!

Wooo hoo Celeste. “Remember: the big picture isn’t about the weight-loss, it’s about the freedom to FORGET about the weight and discover the world” I lovelovelove LOVE this, such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing Roni.

I enjoyed Celeste’s first email to you so much that I was incredibly excited to see this update, Roni! Thanks for sharing, and I do hope Celeste will agree to keep us all regularly updated on how she’s doing.

Wow she is amazing! I wish I could have been that wise at her age. She has an amazing future ahead of her if she has been able to reach this emotional aha. I am truly inspired to live and discover life and not focus on all the other stuff. She not only inpires, but men alike to embrace life and forget everything else that may keep you in the hate yourself mentality.

WOW, words to live by! That quote about losing the battle when you like what you see in the mirror is truly horrendous. I think it’s exactly the opposite! You’ve not only won the battle, you’ve practically won a new life! Not many women are able to achieve that!

“The second you look in the mirror and like what you see, you’ve already lost the battle.” That quote sums up EVERYTHING that’s wrong with our society and how we view beauty. Life is too short for toxic self hate! I really needed this reminder today. Thanks to Celeste and Roni.
