I started wearing just a sports bra to the gym. /r/all

I'm 40. I've had a child. I've been self conscious about my body for years.

But I work out. Hard. I'm a lifter and actually have some decent muscles.

I saw some of the other girls at the gym who wear cute little workout outfits and I decided, why not me?

So I tried it. And I feel great about it.

I also started wearing crop tops. At 40. I may not have the face of a 20 year old but I work hard for my body and I want to show it off.

It took some encouragement from my husband, who has always been my biggest fan, but yep, I did it. Going to keep doing it, too.

Edit: Thanks for the Silver all the awards!
