    Went on a weekend road trip, had a lovely lovely time. We had good food, lots of physical activity but after viewing photos I felt discouraged like I haven't been doing enough to lose the weight. I still feel I look like I'm over 300 pounds...its really frustrating knowing that..that is why people look at me the way they do when I enter a room or when I occupy any type of space.


    I know none of that should matter and I've worked on seeing myself for who I am NOT my weight but the photos just made ALL of those insecurities rush back.

    Going to try and not let this knock me down and instead use it as a reminder of why I work everyday to make good choices and to be active.

    I used to carry so much hate towards myself and I never want to feel that way again.

    I appreciate you sharing this. We all have insecurities. I have been borderline obese and very fit. The insecurities and self hatred might morph, but don’t go away because weight was lost.

    Good to see you are looking at yourself as a whole person (physical, mental, spiritual). It’s healthy that you see those insecurities arise and can see them for what they are. Basically lies. You are invaluable, no matter what the state of your body is. Cheers to you for seeing some of this and working it out in your 20s rather than later in life (like moi)

    That's just as awkward as having a supposed friend blocking you from you seeing their updates

    Thank you to those who have responded on my previous post. I appreciate the thoughts and advice. I know I will continue to improve it was just a bit hard today. I'm going to continue to work on every aspect of myself because I know I'm worth it.

    Hope everyone is having a happy Sunday 🌞

    Your post resonates so much with me. I remember cringing when I had to weigh myself at the doctor's office. But then read the sign they had posted above the scale. It said something like 'this scale cannot measure your kindness and what's in your heart'. You get the idea.
    Keep thinking and moving forward, we all have our backwards days, our days when we feel like we've worked so hard and it's not enough, our days when our insecurities shine more than our realities. Accepting ourselves is such a battle some days, isn't it? I'll find myself thinking sometimes, in the end what will matter the most?

    Hope you have better more uplifting days ahead! A picture doesn't say everything. Neither does a scale.

    Instead of making lunch for my kids before I left the house, I put out four cans of tuna, some loaves of Italian bread, and a jar of mayonnaise. I’m assuming they know how to find the onions and celery if they want it.

    I think my primer & foundation were incompatible because they did a weird cakey thing & I had to wash my face with cheap bathroom hand soap. But now I can blow my nose without being delicate
