wow moments

Just had to post real quick- I am so busy at work. My wow moment actually had to do with enjoying another persons post- when I looked at Tanya's new pictures I was blown away. She looks fantastic and so happy. She has worked so hard and has come 10 times father than I have. When she posted her height and weight I realized that I am thinner--- so why can I be ecstatic for some one else but still see myself as fat???? And I am truly thrilled for Tanya, I actually got tears in my eyes when I saw the post--- she is an inspiration for me. So now I am trying to be as happy for myself as I am for everyone else here..... you go Tanya thanks so much for opening my eyes. donna

I totally get you. Ive been a little down had been stuck at the same weight then whamo over xmas of all times ive dropped down about 5 lbs. Still have the issues with seeing myself as thin , im having issues with the tummy bothering me if i wear pants that actually fit its more noticeable uugghhh i hate that tummy. I did have a little wow moment that boosted my spirit a little. I went for my b12 shot and the nurse was teaching a tech how to give it ... she said make sure you use a smaller needle on someone like her because shes so tiny!!! I just giggled to myself it was like a big hug that has lasted a few days. Who would have thought id be described as tiny. I think we need to all take a new picture and post it within the next week. I havent posted a new pic for several months i think not since april. So im challenging everyone to take a new pic and post it. And by the way Donna I look at you and Im jealous!!! lol you are so pretty!!! Tammy O

I agree with the picture, I will do my best to post a new one. When I looked over our pictures I realized like usually I am not in many... thats the old Donna I have to tell hubby to take some new ones. I had a person in Burlington Coat factory tell me that I needed to try on a petite size coat and was floored. First off I am 5'9" tall so even if I was 110 pounds I am not sure petite would describe me.... lol... thanks for the note d

Donna, I know exactly what you mean/ Now is the time for that Damn Brain surgery to make us see how great WE are doing and have done and how great WE looked. It is such a body issue for me too. My little 5 year old niece noticed a big difference at Christmas( hadn't seen her in a year but I struggle to notice. A 5 year old for goodness sakes notices what I cannot!! Counseling or Brain Transplant for me!! At least we have each other on this forum to help us out!! Thanks Jacqueline
