65 lbs

Do you have an old pic before the weight loss? I myself lost 70 lbs, and am quite thin and still feel insecure about my body (pic of my beely on my profile)....It helps me to look at those old pictures. You will get back on track- if you aren't already. I at one point decided to cut myself off from the people who I felt were dragging me down in life. Usually not such a tough decision- but for me, this also meant my mother. Not suggesting this is what you should do, just that I want you to realize that sometimes family isn't good for you just because they are family, ya know? Anyway, good luck w/ your journey, and remember, we are all in this with you!

Thanks,

Mike

Create what you want

OUCH! And darn it! And....it's about HER, not you. It's about her fears, her insecurities, her demands on herself and those around her, the values she was taught, that ugly, critical voice in her head she probably isn't even aware of but I can guarantee you sometimes it drives HER crazy....

because people say their thoughts. And what they think, they say to themselves, constantly. So it's probably pretty darn critical and angry and never happy, inside her head. Nothing you can do about that except model something else for her.

So drag out your compassion for a woman who doesn't know how to be accepting and loving and uplifting---and who may be off balance with the change in you.

Then get back on board, create a Challenge or a support group or both, and blog, and invite friends, and cheer others and create that cheering squad. Cuz here, you can have that. In fact you won't BELIEVE the cheering squad you can get, here. Go for it.

Your photo

P.S. That's a photo of a beautiful, warm, interesting girl. Just the way you are.
