Give and Take

I feel like the better looking I get in my clothes the worse I'm starting to look out of them!

It's so funny that as I was gaining weight I kind of always had the mentality that well I'll just lose the weight eventually and BAM I'd have this smokin body. It never dawned on me the lasting affects and scars the many years of abuse would cause my body. I'm constantly looking at my body and going oooo I'm getting thinner here and here and longer here (sigh) wait LONGER? I find myself contemplating surgeries that were never an option in my mind. Boy how things change. I'm sure there is more than one person out there that can relate to this.

Yep, you got one here. I am old and want the rest of my life to be skinny and be able to travel and walk thru a crowd without my big butt bumping into people. Only 42 lbs down but it is the most I ever lost at one time without stopping and gaining it all back with 10 more on top of that. Good luck to you.

Wow! I was looking at your profile...you look soooo good! OMG! You are losing so fast! GO GIRL! but ya i am with you on this one...I hate my arms now...I am looking into getting them tucked as soon as I hit goal weight...I want to wait in the hope that working them out at the gym will help...we will see :)

I was saying the same thing about my body today. I really hate the way I look without clothes. My husband can't understand why I am always covering up when he comes into the bathroom. I do get many, many compliments throughout my day, but boy things don't look so good when I undress. I was thinking that I really needed to do a lot of toning workouts. I have lost a total of 61 pounds, and I have never lost this much weight before in my entire life, but I would love to have a tight body! Honestly, I can not afford to have any type of surgery to correct my body at this point.

The Amen corner is over here. People constantly praise me, telling me how small I am and hoe good I look (even though I'm at a standstill). I told my mom and sister today that I still had thirty pounds to go. My mom said I was crazy and that I looked fabulous right now. I lifted my shirt to show her my back flaps and she told me to get lost! I want lipo....but probably will never get it (sigh).
