ALTHOUGH LATELY I FEEL LIKE I AM HAVING A HARD TIME STAYING ON TRACK,  AND I NEED TO PUT MY BEST FOOT FORWARD, SO I KNOW I DID ALL I COULD DO, BY THE END OF NOVEMBER. IT'S SO WEIRD, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I AM LOOSING WEIGHT, I HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF ME LATELY THAT MAKE ME SAD. MY FACE IS STILL NOT DE-POOFING, AND WHEN I SEE HOW CHUBBY MY FACE IS IN PICTURES, IT TURNS MY STOMACH. I WENT AND HAD MY BLOOD DRAWN THIS MORNING FOR THE INSULIN FASTING TEST, AND I PRAY THAT THE RESULTS ARE GOOD. THIS TEST IS SO IMPORTANT FOR ME IN SO MANY WAYS. FOR MY HEALTH AND FOR MY FUTURE PREGNANCY, THAT I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THE RESULTS. SO, I AM FEELING KINDA OF BLAH THIS MORNING, SORT OF LIKE I AM SEEING MY SIZE OUT OF PROPORTION OR SOMETHING. I AM A REALIST, SO I KNOW I AM AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN WITH DISTINGUISHING CHARECTORISTICS. BUT I CANT HELP BUT FEEL JUST NOT RIGHT TODAY... NOT SURE WHY.. ANYWAYS, I WILL POST ONCE I GET THE FASTING RESULTS... FINGERS CROSSED HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE, AND LETS ALL PROMISE TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE US FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS... SHOPPING, HAIR COLOR, MASSAGE, WHATEVER....

Maria, since I've seen you in person, YOUR FACE DOES NOT LOOK FAT!!  You have a beautiful face, like Aaron said I love your cheeks.  I would kill to have your hair.  Don't be so hard on yourself.  You have a lot going for you, so try and focus on the all the positive things.  No one is perfect.

Thanks B... I need to lighten up and thank GOd for my blessings.. It's just so easy to get into that negative place, you  know... where nothing is good enough and everything is poop.... - Calgon take me away !!!

Looks like you are doing GREAT snuggles!   You're weight is going DOWN!    You are CLOSE... VERY CLOSE!  You have so much excitement in front of you! Me, being a mom that LOVED/LOVES every ounce of BEING a mom.... I am VERY excited to hear when you are THERE and you announce you are preggo :)    You are doing AWESOME!  Keep up the great work!  

Hey snuggs - You're weight loss is going great - slow and steady is the best way to keep off the fat.  Keep your chin up.  You're doing awesome!

Janina's right, slow and steady.  To me it's more important especially if your planning on getting pregnant.  Being pregnant it's so easy to eat because well, you have an excuse!  I was heavy with all four of my kids.  It's easy to use being pregnant as an excuse once your pregnant.  On my first child I gained 70-90 ?!?!  Lol, after four kids it all starts blurring together.  But my point is I turned around and had another one.  I didn't gain an ounce with her because I learned my lesson with the first.  I think I actually came out losing in the long run.  It didn't hurt her one bit, because I was eating healthy!   I was high risk with her and the doctor was amazed on how healthy she was, and that she actually came on time instead of early like they thought she was going too do.
