I had a great idea yesterday. If I had the opportunity to write myself a note today to the girl I was before what would I say? If I would write myself a note to the "future" me, what would it also say?

To OLD me:
Adri, don't worry - everything is going to be ok. Don't take everything you are going thru so serious, you are going to be fine. Trust me. Please stop eating the way you do, life is going to be very hard because of it. Stop this now and please take care of your health. You are beautiful, remember that! You can do WHATEVER you put your mind to do. Be strong. Be healthy. I love you.

To FUTURE me:
I hope that you are what I'm picturing you will be. I hope you find true happiness within yourself and that this war going on inside yourself is no longer. I can see you smiling, everything seems great. You didn't give up. I'm happy with what I see in you. You are happy. Life is better.

What would you say to yourself?

    Great idea!

    To OLD Me: (pre pregnancy) Melissa, you are a strong beautiful girl. Why do you obsess about your weight, or thighs. You are perfect the way you are. You are strong, smart, healthy and one great person. You've got to let these negative thoughts go!

    During pregnancy: Melissa you are such a lovely pregnant lady! You are glowing! Now PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop eating everything in site. YOU WILL REGRET THIS LATER.

    To FUTURE Me: Look how far you've come! I hope everyday you wake up and realize how amazing you are. You have taken control of your health and your life. I am proud of you. Keep it up, your family needs you so much and they deserve to have such a happy healthy woman leading the family!

    cool idea:-)

    Dear old me,
    I am sorry you seemed to only settle for less. I am sad that you seemed to be the "fat girl that was friends to everyone, but not friendly enough to let them see the real you". The reality was you were a very sensitive person, and your funny exterior and "in your face" antics were just not that comical.

    Dear Future me,
    Man, look how far you have traveled! Your transformation is awesome. You are at 143 lbs, you are fit, active, and willowy:-) You move thru the world with gracefullness and exude confidence:-) I am so proud of you girl!!

    I like this :)

    Dear Old Me:
    We've been here before, haven't we girl? We've seen our thighs shake and jiggle with every step. We've had the jelly rolls on the back and tummy. We've gone through hard times emotionally and physically and wound up here. But we've finally hit that wall, that marker that says "This stops now"; at 207 (as of this morning) we refuse to allow the weight to go up any further. And now we're setting ourself up on the right path, loading our arsenal with the proper tools. THIS time is our time!

    Dear Future Me:
    Wow GG, look at you! You strut with confidence again. You hold your head up high and aren't afraid of what you look like anymore. you know those jeans fit just right and you know those bat wings are banished FOR GOOD. Your body is finally healthy enough to possibly support another life. And BOUCE BACK BABY!!! Good job. I'll be seeing you soon ;)

    Can't do this...I'm an emotional wreck today and I'll start sobbing. I just wanted to comment and say it's a great idea.
