She said what?????
Ok, I took my daughter shopping for clothes and school supplies this weekend and when we were at PacSun she asked me if we could go for a smoothie when we left. It was late (mall was closing) so I asked the sales person if they knew if the tropical smoothie (just outside of the mall) was still open. She said she did not think so but that Baskin Robbins and Haggan Daas were both still open. I said thanks but no thinks...I don't eat sugar. Her response was "oh...no wonder you are able to stay so thin." Ok...now I know I am not thin. Can I have some of what she was smoking??? It certaintly did make me feel good and then Steve, Kara and I went home and made our own fresh smoothies. Me...thin??? Who woulda thunk it! Certaintly not ME!!!!

Judging from your face shot you do look thin (the good kind).........I think it's really hard to see ourselves how others see us....I know in the past when I have lost weight I never felt thin (even when I wore a size 3). I knew I had lost weight and I could tell when I looked in a mirror, but as soon as I turned away from the mirror I still felt fat. I have read a lot about that since then and I also feel that this contributed to me regaining weight so often. One of the ways I read to help combat this is 2 take pictures and compare them so you can really see the difference. I just had surgery and hope that this doesn't happen to me again, but if it does I'm not really worried because this time I wanted to lose the weight for health reasons (diabetes, hypertension) as opposed to cosmetic ones anyway so I think when I feel better and can do more that will help keep me motivated instead of worrying about how I look. As I've gotten older I've learned to not worry so much about how I look and I'm trying to focus more on how I feel.....,but I have no doubt that it would thrill me to pieces to have someone look at me and call me thin !
