Now, a year later and almost 40# lighter, I realize that I never want to ever go back to that unhappy place again. This was a great post! YOu look great & have lots to be proud of!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144579835177348120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-90368768337930851622011-09-15T19:41:17.197-07:002011-09-15T19:41:17.197-07:00Loved your post Rosalie.

Then I feel like a fat blob, you know. I don't mind working to change that.

Now if...Your thought for the day sure speaks to me. Now if I would just follow it! <br />We do see ourselves so differently. Usually when I have slimmed down I like to take a lot of pictures. Now I hesitate because I don't want to see what I look like??? That makes no sense, I have lost 26 lbs of fat:( <br />The good news is that we are not alone in how we feel! I find if I have an outfit I like on, I feel better about how I look whether I am heavy or thin. Well, and if my hair looks good for the day:)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876597084432433257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-90858333795992300612011-09-15T17:50:08.388-07:002011-09-15T17:50:08.388-07:00It sounds like this is something we can all relate...It sounds like this is something we can all relate to. We think we look pretty good until we see a picture later. How many times do I see the picture later and tell myself "I will never wear such & such again" after seeing how I really looked in it. I will be thrilled to get to the point where I at least feel like "wow, I don't look too bad in that pic!"Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900189705707651375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-24525344794776746362011-09-15T17:01:32.613-07:002011-09-15T17:01:32.613-07:00I'm with you...

There are very few photos of me with my kids as they were growing up (which I regret) but I couldn't stomach having the pictures as a record of my flaws. I am looking forward to the day I can smile freely for the camera! With BFC and your support I know that day will come... slowly, but surely. Thanks Rosalie :-)<br />By the way, please change my current weight to 213 (from a starting weight of 267)!

I need to step back and look at the whole, instead of just seeing the rest of the belly that I want gone.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792676971597382540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-76421935501942923662011-09-15T10:22:28.184-07:002011-09-15T10:22:28.184-07:00I have always been called Rosalie and the only per...I have always been called Rosalie and the only person who ever called me Rosie was my MOM RIP and maybe a few other people. <br />But I like either. :-)PurpleRosyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038204772860553985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-30071166180175351262011-09-15T10:12:11.669-07:002011-09-15T10:12:11.669-07:00Excellent post Rosalie.

I always said I have reverse anorexia nervosa..not making light of it, but people with that problem look in the mirror and see a fat person. I, like you, look in the mirror and think I look pretty good. Then I see the photos and I am shocked. I didn't look as good as I thought. Not even close. That being said, you are right, we still have to love and treat ourselves right while we are on this journey.Hugs from me to you, and glad you didn't get eaten by that shark!! P.S. LOVE, LOVE the quote today too. So true!Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233014292620441914noreply@blogger.com
