The one thing that blows my mind "still about losing weight...

Many things are light bulb moments throughout our journey for losing weight.  But I have to confess the one that blows my mind is how much "younger" we all look.  I am watching Extreme Weight Loss and she looks at least 10 years younger with 100 pounds gone.  To this day everyone thinks I am my husband's daughter, giggle. He hates it but I love it!  

That's good because my bf is 34, so maybe we look the same age now.

Enjoy!

My husband is ten years younger than me.  I hope it isn't the first thing people notice about us.  He's also slim and fit.  I used to imagine that people saw us and thought, "why is that hot young guy with that old fat woman."  I don't know why we let mean thoughts about ourselves into our lives.  One advantage of losing weight is that I can work harder to be kinder to myself. 

I think I look older. I've got wrinkles now...and I never did before. I look okay from far away, but up close... Noooooo. 

I'm a Monet!! 

I will take the wrinkles any day over being M.O. though. 

I have exactly the same experience and reaction.

I have noticed people have said that to me over and over.... I look so young. A college guy almost hit on me thinking I was my daughters friend, I'm 43 this Aug.. Someone said you look 19 or I can tell who is older me or my daughter... Now I don't believe the sweet hearts, but heck, I'll take it. :). I try hard not to beat myself up any more. Stopped that before I lost the weight. It's important for us to fall in love with who we are and then fix the issues. I love me, heavy or thin. :)

I hear you! I'm 100 pounds down and I'm getting everyone tell me I'm looking so young!  It is nice to hear for a (almost) 50 year old!  

I agree with you as gaining weight is much easy then losing it. It makes us look younger and the best thing is we can wear our favorite dresses.
