What an amazing milestone this is for you! It's the height of health, to my mind, when we can just revel in the fact of all the amazing things our bodies are capable of, and enjoying what they enable us to do. Instead of shame and disappointment that our bodies aren't thinner, taller, stronger, tanner, blonder, whatever. (If we thought of treating our bodies the way we are counseled to treat children -- to champion who and what they are instead of comparing them to what they aren't -- I think the world would be a much better place.)

The words "GO YOU" never seemed more warranted. :) Hooray for beating down your Inner Browbeater.
