Absolutely Gutted :'(

You are beautiful in your old pictures and you are still beautiful now. I can tell you are not happy with the way you look now and there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to improve the way you look and feel. Exercise and a good wholesome diet are the true miracle workers.

Hello;

I'm in agreement with you. I did the same thing, I once weighed 180 lbs. through hard work a divorce and determination I lost 47 lbs. I recently after years of maintaining the weight, have gradually put almost all of that weight back on. I married a very wonderful man in Dec. which also contributed to my weight gain, because now I cook meals and I'm surrounded by chips and Debbie cakes which he loves and can eat everyday and not gain an ounce... the snack is very tempting for me, and I find my self enjoying the sofa beside him indulging in the snacks...

It has been quite difficult getting motivated to get moving again. I know I can do it, I just haven't. My husband has never seen this weight on me... when we began dating I was wearing a size 6. I feel horrible although he DOESN'T complain... (YOU KNOW IF I FEEL AWFUL AND FAT AND UGLY... I'M WONDERING WHAT HE'S THINKING AS WELL ) And for some reason, I can not get motivated enough to do it again.

I weighed 165 lbs this morning... so I'm not feeling so hot about myself.. I'm hoping that you accomplish your goal weight and get me in mind as well.. if you think of any suggestions that may help me. please feel free to message me...

ps... I love your tattoo

Hi. I'm not trying to be insensitive, but I wanted to share this funny quote my mom has: "I wish I were as skinny as when I thought I was fat!!" ---- I think that becomes true for a lot of us. I know I've been there. *hug* Well, you're in the right place to make any changes you want. You CAN do this.

Awww frig girl! Dont beat urself up. Happened to many of us. Youre doing very well and youre gonna get there. this IS totally attainable...get ur exercise in too and you're gonna be even better that you were before. Trust in urself and you can do anything.

THIS!!!

You were beautiful then, and your beautiful now... don't let how you look get in your way. If you think you can aim to look how you used to look, you can! Always remember that if you think you can do it... you can!!!

You know what the biggest difference is? Confidence. You're sexy and you know it in the first set of photos. Your posture says something completely different in the 2nd set. Ham it up for the camera. Pose like you're gonna be on the cover of Maxim's Hot 100. You deserve to feel as beautiful as you are.

Don't let it get you down, let it MOTIVATE you! I know the feeling, though. Last year, before I got pregnant, I had lost 38 pounds, still thought I was fat. I was looking at pics, recently, on my computer and I actually looked thin. I weighed 135 pounds, can't wait to get back there! Be MOTIVATED! :flowerforyou:

Sweetie, you're being silly. You are absolutely gorgeous before and after, infact i'd be thrilled to have a body like yours now.

I think you are gorgeous in both photos.

^^^ what she said

But I know all its all about how you feel about "yourself" I understand that completely. I am on this quest to get under 200lbs just because it was a goal that I set several years ago before "life" got in the way. I bing this up becuase at 225 all my friends and family started telling me that I looked great or too thin (really a 5;10" man at 225 too thin....) but the man I saw in the mirror was still the 340lb man. Just remember to make sure that who you see in the mirror is who you are currently and not who you use to be as you approach your goals.
