I wanted to share a thought I made on one of my bloggin friends blog today...
She posted that she felt so FAT and just got back from a vacation and saw pictures of herself and felt terrible. She used to be thin - and now she is NOT...
Does this sound like you also? I'm going to tell you what I think about this subject.
I started feeling the same way when I started blogging when I started the BFC.
I started posting pictures on my blog and putting them side by side as I was losing weight. I was mortified that I did not realize I looked that way to others.
I NEVER looked at myself in the mirror from the waist down. Any pictures that I did not like of me - I DELETED. I knew I was big, but I just didn't realize what other people saw when they looked at me.
So when I starting putting the photos of me before and after - YEAH I CRIED - A LOT - STILL DO. Mostly because I was SHOCKED! ... Even my Hubby said he never realized I looked like that! Both of us just were not looking right or maybe we just had on blinders - So-To-Speak.
You MUST make this a decision to GET HEALTHY - not just a DIET..
SO Start actually looking in the mirror... SEE what others see... Start paying attention...
I know it feels bad - but take it as a WAKE-UP moment and take this opportunity to change it.
I know its hard to wrap your head around, but this has to be a good change YOU decide to make for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!!
NOT A DIET!!
SO that means, No matter where you are - or who you are around..............
Keep eating HEALTHY! Don't let circumstances influence what YOU WANT!!
This is PurpleRosy signing off...
Keep on BFC ' n :-)

Thank you for the reminder and, most of all, thank you for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteI agree with so much of what you said.
ReplyDeleteWe DO have to make this a lifetime commitment and change. Diets simply don't work. Whatever we decide to do has to be the way that we can eat for ALWAYS or it's not gonna work. We will be disappointed and unsuccessful. Been there ... got the T-shirt :-/
Thank you so much for all of the support and reminders that you give us, "Oh Successful One." :)
Love You, Rosalie :)

Are the tamales on face book good for bfc?
ReplyDeletewell they are not great - but not that bad I guess. Once in a while is OK - but just one. I had 2 halves.
