finally getting over the hurdle

ok this has been one of the biggest hurdles for me and i can really say that i am finally getting over this one. 1)when i look in the mirror i am really starting to like the way i look.....i mean there are definately a few things i still want to change but overall i am happy with the results i am seeing. 2)i really am starting to feel comfortable with compliments instead of feeling goofy or undeserving of them.

And that, my dear, is one of the most important reasons for going through what we do. To feel good about yourself and happy with yourself on the inside. ((BIG HUGS)) Donna

awww donna you always make me feel good!!! right back at ya too!!!

Wonderful! You are such an enthusiastic person and I bet that's coming out even more as you become a smaller enthusiastic person. I'm still having trouble with compliments given in a group setting -- one on one I can deal with. I went out last night to play cards with 11 other women (3 tables). I haven't seen these people since B4 surgery and none of them know I had WLS (I don't know them well enough to share certain aspects of my personal life). One of them kept bringing up how good I looked, etc etc, and I just didn't have a reply for group consumption.

yes i do have to admit i am just bubbling over most of the time now~!!! i know it's weird isn't it i find myself always telling how i lost my weight and i hate that i do that....I DON'T KNOW WHY i just blurt it out.......i feel like i have to justify how i lost so much weight so quickly.......... but i am at least getting through the feeling some how shameful for my weight gain...........and starting just to say thank you and going yep i'm getting there... love ya Cleo~~~~!!!!!!

Those compliments are so hard to take sometimes. Glad you are really starting to like the new you. Keep up the good work.

yes they are, thank you so much for your support justine
