I finally got around to having my sister take a few pictures of me so I could get rid of the Webble Icon on my profile. This is very hard for me because in my late teens and early twenties I was a runway model and paper thin. I had to GAIN weight to join the Air Force I was so thin! To face my reality like these pictures is very tough. Now I know how Kersti Allie must feel! YIKES!!

    Congrats to you! That's a huge step...the first step in finding a solution is admitting there is a problem...and that's what you did. And BTW, you still look beautiful!! We are always our own worst critics!! Working as a model probably instilled what beauty is...but it's really being a good person on the inside. Be healthy and strong and kind, that's REAL beauty. Treat yourself and look at yourseld like you would a daughter...you wouldn't think she wasn't beautiful because she was heavier than she used to be...right? Give yourself the same leeway. You rock!! Good luck in your journey

    Thanks for the compliments and the encouragement. Yes we are harder on ourselves than most and I am working on being my biggest cheerleader too. LOL
