oh my god! I have a MUSCLE!!!!!!!

[jimenitayo]

I was in frontof the mirror today, putting up my hair, and i noticed this bulge on my arm!!! it's a bicep!!!

I've never ever ever had anything like it, i've never seen a muscle, ever done excercise. i almost didn't understand what i was seeing, it surprised me!

how could i have a bulging muscle! it's earthshattering for me.

i guess all that swimming has paid off in more than one way.

im still totally freaked, this is new territory.... muscles!

I'm laughing at your excitement, but it's so great, isn't it? That's just how it happens for me, too. I don't notice a thing changing, then one day I see something in the mirror and I have to look again to see if it's real or my eyes are playing tricks on me. THEN I have to go show everyone else. lol

Congratulations on your bicep. You're doing great!

Re: oh my god! I have a MUSCLE!!!!!!!

yeay 2big! you found a muscle too!!! isn't it increeeeeeeeeeeedible?!

nobody around here gets me, i show them my muscle, but they all think it's neat, to me it's incomprehensible. i've always been the fat girl, i've never in my life been fit, so it never ocurred to me that my body could change.

i think for me this meant that i was getting into a whole new ballgame, a new way of thikning about my body. all of a sudden i can actually be like those other people!

by bye fat girl!!!

Re: oh my god! I have a MUSCLE!!!!!!!

That is so great. I am very impressed. What about the triceps? That is a good looking muscle, too...

[jimenitayo]

Re: oh my god! I have a MUSCLE!!!!!!!

nah, no triceps yet, but maybe someday...

Wonderful feeling, isn't it? When I stand in front of the mirror now and suck in my tum I can see it MOVE! it's still large, but at least the darn things is responding.
