Old pics !!!

Great paraphase  Glammi (smile)

Its true, we cant move forward if we keep looking back. 

 I dont know what made me seek out the old me today, but when I saw her all I could do is criticize and pity her. I need to forgive her because she didnt know better and only was working with the tools she had at that time. Today Im doing better because I can.  I have to remeber that but it still hurts to see her.  And to think that I was causing pain her sooo much pain. 

 Its just sad.   I had no neck,  my cheeks were so big and full that it barely looked as if I had eyes. When I think about how she struggled just to be accepted and respected it goes straight to my heart. 

 I dont know what made my sweetie see past all the weight, when I couldnt.  And to be honest I wasnt even as friendly as I am now.  I was a fussbox  and rightfully so....my weight made me miserable. 

Im embracing the smaller package that I am and learning to love me from the inside out. Its a neccessary trip that I have to take.   Thanks for your input. Gonna look up that scripture and meditate on it.

Hugs !

PP I can relate to you honey!!  Everytime I go to my mom's house I see all these old pics of myself and it truly reminds me that I never want to go back down that road again.  I also kept a pair of my size 24 jeans I used to wear and now I can fit my body in one pant leg!  It's an amazing feeling!

Wow Mo...you are able to get into  one of your pants legs - that is awesome !!!

Go head with your skin-ty sweet self  (smile)

See I need my emoticons so i can make clap it up for you !!!

I never saw myself taking a pic like that, but that would definately serve as motivation for this journey. Maybe I should when I get small enough to do that.

I got some old 24's, 26's and 28's in my closet.  I havent thrown them out....and quickly bypass them in the closet when Im trying to decide what to wear.

Everything I wear these days is figure flattering so I can show off me curves - yeah !!!

Glad to hear all is well,  give Moms some of them new sexy pics to of you so she can bragg about her new baby (smile)

 Hugs !

I keep a pic of  my old self sitting on my desk at work to remind me that I never ever want to go back to where I came from, and then to hear people say oh you didn't look that big just boggles my mind because I'm looking at the same picture and I look big as a house

Hey LB,

Now thats a plan - a before pic at work.  So I can stare at that sucker when I get a itching for McDonalds or something.  Im actually embarrassed about how I had become, so maybe I should keep a few before pics around for quick reference.  Especially when I want something sweet. 

I know my supervisor told me that I looked like the lady from Tyler Perry's show before....you know the short, heavy lady and that was enough to hurt my feelings. 

She aint said much about my weightloss since I got serious.....oh well, I dont need her validation cause I know Im on the right road !

Thanks !

Well said Lil Mama  ( smile)

Least you had a little waist, the only thing little on me were my hands and feet. LOL. Im naturally full figured I think. Just round and shapely everywhere.

The thing is we dont have to give up food, we just dont have to make it as important as we did.  Its not everything...its a neccesity to sustain good health and well being. Nothing more, nothing less.  We were conditioned for so long to think otherwise along with the rest of the obese individuals.  Time to change that mental. Take up dancing or something and put the cake down.  LOL.

 Cant let no one and nothing get to me anymore.  Im much too feisty for that now.  LOL.

Have a great day !

I can see old pictures of myself..and say WTF for real...How did I let that happen to myself...I look at them thighs and everything else is just shake my head..for real. i cant never do that to myself again. Seeing pictures is a constant reminder.

Heeeey Wendy !

Thats how I feel. Im like nope...Im deserving of all thats good. The weight took away from me and robbed me of too much.  Time to seize the moment.  Its good to look at those constant reminders so we never forget. 

Hugs !
