    Excuses.

    I gave so many.
    Oh it's a mirror that makes you fat.
    I'm big boned.
    That's not cellulite, that's just weird.
    Too tired to work out.
    I'll start tomorrow.

    Soooo many excuses.

    The fact that I couldn't just go in my closet and pick out an outfit in 5 minutes and be totally comfortable in it, no matter what it was...I'm becoming more comfortable in my skin..but I want to get back to that state of mind of feeling "amazing" in anything

    Not speaking up.

    I didn't hate her

    I was hoping that someone would say that! :)

    I couldn't wear skirts because my legs would rub together and make my skin unbelievably raw and sore. Do not miss that AT ALL.

    I was afraid to approach people, and the whole 'thunder thighs' thing

    Nothing. I have a lot of empathy and compassion for "the old me." I know why she was the way she was, I know how much she endured, how hard she fought to get me here today.

    Just one??? ;)

    I hated having to sit up every morning and stretch my ankles before I could stand on them to get out of bed. I hated being weak. I hated never liking the way I looked in clothes.

    The older fatter me was actually fatter because I was eating too LITTLE. So I hate that I was so ignorant in a constant state of low-cal binge for the past 15 years. EM2WL saved my bod.

    Being too picky an eater. Why did I turn down so many servings of delicious veggies?

    I could not fit any of my jeans. And I did not want to buy new, bigger ones. And so I would squeeze into them and look terrible and feel uncomfortable. So I stopped wearing jeans altogether. And how I felt when I rode a horse. Yuck.

    I don't hate anything about my old self. When I look at pictures of her I'm astonished at the courage she had in taking the first steps and changing her life. I'm 60 pounds lighter than that person, but I wonder if I'm still that brave. I don't know.

    I'm a major work in progress, but I loved it when the day finally came where I could once again tie my shoes without sucking in my belly and getting out of breath. Who's with me?

    That it took her so damn long to realise how damn important it was to lose the weight and be healthy.

    She lacked self respect and confidence. And she was a really cool person who didn't realise it.

    I hated that I was so unhappy with myself and never did anything about it. Why did it take me over 10 years to finally get off my *kitten*?

    That's exactly what I'm struggling with now. Hoping to make it to the other side without giving up this time :smile:

    I love the fatter me. She was on the one who got her act together. and said enough is enough. She was the one who gave up the high calorie food. She was the one who got me on my feet, when it hurt to do so. I love her, she got me where I am today. Forty five pounds lighter, fitter, and near to goal.

    I had good self esteem when I was fat, and good self esteem when I am slimmer. Good self esteem happens in the mind, not the exterior. I do worry about some of the young women here. They don't seem to like themselves much.

    So far, I haven't lost a lot of weight (just over 15 pounds), but now I can actually walk up stairs without getting out of breath and feeling like I'm dying! I absolutely LOVE that. Whenever I would have to walk upstairs it would take me at least a minute or two to calm my breath.

    Mostly no energy but the worst was being ashamed to go out in public. I'm never going back to her even though she was my best friend for a long time.
