    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: do you have a pic of yourself that amazes you that you would like to share?:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    i've always been chubby.:cry:
    i remember, in 5th grade, i had the biggest boobs in my class cause of my chubbiness. and i hated that.:cry:
    i was bigger in high school than i am now.:cry::cry:
    in 2001, my husband died unexpectedly:ohwell:
    i found myself weighing 240lbs:cry: but,
    i was suddenly in total control of my life:happy: and the lives of my children.:happy:
    (:angry: he was a control freek:angry: )

    Your story is amazing and I am proud of you for taking control of your life. Those pictures are something else. You should send them in to prevention magazine. REALLY, it is just amazing. I am inspired! Keep it up!


    i have tried to make good/healthy choices in my daily life ever since.:huh: :huh: :laugh:
    i eat all my veges and always choose stairs if i have a choice.:love:
    i have not reached my goal #, but i was awed by this pic taken of me last week while on vacation in cabo. :noway: :noway:
    i look much better in the pic than in real life for i am "poised" and streached out!:laugh: :laugh: (skin/fat folds dissiappear):tongue::tongue:
    but i wanted to share.:wink::wink:

    thank you so much people for the compliments:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    loosing the "last few lbs" is nearly impossissable and reading your kind words really helps me remember how far i've come and makes me see i should not hate myself so much when i eat bad.

    Don't be so hard on yourself, look at what you have achieved! You truly are a real inspiration, you look 20 years younger in your after pic. I shall be revisiting this topic every time I'm tempted to over eat.
    Well done honey, I'm so proud of you xxx

    Perhaps your body is at the weight it needs to be at to be healthy. I hear so many time on the site how 'if only I could weigh 7 lbs less, 22 lbs less, 2lbs less, then I would be perfect. We can be so hard on ourselves. I do hope you can find happiness within yourself one day. I remember you sharing in a number of posts how you don't feel you are small enough/healthy enough yet. One thing I've also noticed is your ticker keeps getting more weight to lose on it, what I mean by that is, you shared you weigh 5 lbs more than last year. But at one point over the year your ticker was closer to your goal, I know you feel you need to be at some perfect weight, but is there really a 'perfect weight' for any of us?

    I think there is a healthy weight but I think it can vary with our age, our activities and how we feel about ourselves on the inside.

    My goal is to be happy and love the inside me only then do I feel I'll be happy with the outside me:heart:

    I really am offering my thoughts in a loving way, not a critical way, I just recall a number of your posts be very self critical and it makes me so sad for you:ohwell:

    You look great but better yet you're the sweetest person:flowerforyou:

    my body is fighting these last 10 lbs. i feel real good about myself (most of the time) now.
    i did lower my goal weight 5 lbs, once, a year ago. but no changes other than that. (other than gaining a few lbs!:cry: )
    again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on my issues.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
