Small victories!

So, I haven't been doing so hot on my dieting or working out this past week.  School and work has been crazy!  But I had to post today because I looked in the mirror today and the gross stretch marks on my stomach that I have just developed in the past 6 months are starting to go away!  Of course, they're still there, but not as red and noticeable.  I am so happy!  These are what I've been so ashamed of, and what let me know that I have really hit a weight that needed to be changed.  It may not seem like a big deal, but it makes me wanna keep working harder and trying to make changes.  Anyone else have these small moments of victory that make you wanna keep pushing forward?
