<p>A curious thing is happening. Although I&#8217;m not losing very quickly, if at all the last few weeks, and my measurements haven&#8217;t changed, some sweet little sextuplets are about to be born.  I think I&#8217;ll call them The Abbeys.  In other words, in my opinion (and that is the ONLY opinion that counts!) my abs are looking more defined.   I&#8217;m really excited about it.  </p>
<p>Here they are and I like them.<a href="http://www.girl-heroes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_38131.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.girl-heroes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_38132.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-285" title="img_38132" src="http://www.girl-heroes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_38132-300x256.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="256" /></a>  </p>
<p>Progress.  This IS serious progress.  Considering I used to be a body-hater and often still have body dysmorphic struggles. In the past I spent hours decided on how I could save enough money to get a tummy tuck or liposuction.  Who know it would only cost some sweat, discipline, and a good amount of chicken and broccoli.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve said something nice about my body.  Like 10 years.  And it feels nice not arrogant.  It makes me feel like a slightly more mentally healthy person so I&#8217;m going to say it again.  I&#8217;m happy with The Abbeys! The Abbeys are my friends! I hope you make friends with your body today too!</p>
