So my self esteem has been kind of low lately, I haven't been in control of my eating and I put on a few pounds. But I have been keeping up with my exercise, and as I was leaving the park after a run, a man stopped me and said he saw me in the park and thought I was very beautiful. And this was post-workout: messy hair, pink, slightly sweaty face, no makeup, and wearing workout clothes. Nice boost to the ego
