Body Image

Another Wellness Works Tips: Attacking one's body image doesn't help change anything. Consider having a good body image day. Commit to making no negative remarks about your body shape, weight, or size. List 3 things you appreciate about your body that have nothing to do with your looks. While this exercise is not a body image "cure all", it can help many of us gain a more helpful body image.

I can't do that Christine, if I can't talk about how awful i look , i won't have nothing to say!!!!

Dearest Dawn, Yore Momma told me you have sex at least once a day....Now it is my opinion (and yore Momma's) that if'n a person looks THAT awful, they CAN'T be having that much sex..... Smoochies to skinny butted Dawn! Arlies

Well it's with the same dude that i have been haveing sex with for the past 15yrs, so that dont count !!hehe He dont have a choice !!! DAWN ps yes, my butt is the only thing on me that is skinny!!

I feel pretty, so, so pretty!!!!! Heck, I don't much care what I look like, but I feels good!!!! Smoochies Arlies

I need to do that!! BADLY... Instead of looking at where I came from, I always pick out my faults, this sags too much, this is gross, that looks nasty..etc...

Hey Doll! TDIP! You know what I find so odd? Now that I'm down here wearing my size 34 waist jeans I still think I'm as big as ever. I'm no longer shocked when I look in the mirror But if I'm looking at a photo that has a bunch of people in it I have the hardest time "picking out" me. That's a strange one. Try it! I looked through the group again and again thinking- "Hey, I Was there! But Where am I?" Took me three scans of the group to find me. I know I've lost a whole me in the process- (385 to 179) And that I'm less than Half the Man I was But I never thought I'd really "lose myself!" I think this "body image thing" Takes more time than the actually weight loss. My little brain is slow to catch-up with The "new improved concentrated ME!" Thanks for the tips from "Wellness Works." Best Wishes- Dx

I think the only time I will not see that fat person is once I have plastic surgery to get rid of that reminder that stares at me in the mirror. That skin can be a killer sometimes. You have done so well at this whole journey thru the good and the bad you always kept your chin up. You are an inspiration to alot of people out there. I was thumbing thru my mothers camera some time ago and I spotted a picture of myself and looked and looked and made her zoom in. I could not believe that was me. One day we will all be right in our little heads and see us for us and not what we used to be.

Thanks Tweedle Dum! I'm going to try it. I agree with Dx. My brain has not figured out that I am a smaller size. I always look for the larger size Sonya when I am looking at photos. It feels great when I realize that the average size person is me. Sonya

Girl, You are so small. You look like a completely different person. You just look so wonderful. It was great to see you Monday night. I am so glad yall came. I am sorry we were laughing so much. We have a girl in there that when she talks we cant control ourselves. Well, I cant control myself. The two folks beside me pinching and giving eyes makes me lose it. I am not good at control. My nurse got us afterwards though. It was a good meeting.
