Congratulations and thanks for sharing your valuable lessons. I have about 10lbs to be in the normal range on the BMI scale and have kind of been obsessing about it. Thanks for the kick in the pants.

Today is my one year anniversary!

Good job, Julie. Hope tomorrow goes well. I hope to be normal soon. I need to lose about 10lbs. for the BMI scale to say normal. I'm stuck at 145 but it's my first stall so I'm trying not to panic. Take care,

I am so sorry you are feeling down. You have accomplished a great thing. Physical "beauty" is such a subjective concept. It is also a fleeting thing. How do you feel when you look at your daughter and spend time with her? That is beauty. Focus on her and making sure she feels beautiful on the inside first and positive feelings about yourself will follow as well. You've make great strides in improving your health so you can be there for her for a long time. I hope the coming year holds great things for you. Do something special for yourself to celebrate your one year anniversary. (Today is mine too!)

HI Toni,
You have so much to be proud of, I'm sorry you are feeling so down. You have lost over 100 lbs in a year... that is one heck of an accomplishment. Are you attending any support group or counseling. Given your frame of mind, it may be helpful. You are not "ugly" by any means. It sounds like what you see, is actually what you are feeling. Once you are able to feel the joy & beauty of your accomplishments it will radiate from your face as well.
As I am sure you have heard before, they perform surgery on our stomachs, not our brains. All of our issues are still here when we wake up from surgery. I'm a strong believer in support group & counseling in order to deal with all of these issues.
Wishing you continued success & happiness,
Regards,
Pam
Topic: 1 yr and 3 days out, not happy
I missed posting on the one year mark. LOL I was running around town with my little girl. This past year hasn't been the greatest for me. I am still overweight, 143 and I am still fat!! I thought I would be at goal by now. Here I stand 5'3" and 143 pounds, yes better than last year but I am still fat and ugly. Of course, I knew losing weight wouldn't do anything for my looks. LOL I can't afford a new face either. I look at so many of you and as you got smaller, you got even prettier than you was in the first place. Me, my face stayed the same, ugly. LOL Anyway, I am not happy with my life or body. Like I said, I thought I would be at goal by now and better off. Oh well, I hope everyone else has a great rebirthday.
Topic: What I learned at the OH Conference
I attended the obesity help conference this weekend and learned a lot about my journey. I think the most important thing I learned was that I have reached my goal and that I need to relax now and take care of being healthy rather than dropping the last 2 pounds that would make my bmi say I am normal. I took a bmr profile and discovered I am well within the normal range and then I met with Laurlyn Bellamy for a free one on one coaching. She allowed me to realize that most of my adult life has been dieting or just getting off a diet or just beginning a diet. Now that I am a size 8 (my goal) I need to relax and live in the moment of being and keeping healthy. This was a true enlightenment for me. Lauralyn likened my obsession of worrying about those last 2 pounds, that would make my bmi say normal, to empty nest syndrome. That if I didn't have that 2 pounds to obsess on then what would I do with myself. In order to prevent self sabbatoge (sp?) I now I need to enjoy this wonderful new figure and improved health. Oh and let me say this out loud...I'M AT GOAL!
