Guys Don't Hate Me......

BUT ........I want to be thin (size 10 or 12) already! ***I know a size 14 is not bad **** but its been 7 months !!!!! I thought that I would be sexy by now, but im not! Its summer and I want to wear.....(stuff) :unsure: I want to go to the pool with my hubby and kids, and I dont want others to see old "Thunder Thighs" comin. For those who have seen the movie "Norbit" I feel like her at the swim park!

 

My mom and a few people say they see a diffrence, but of course I cant :angry: .... What is wrong with me????? I know its a tool, not a magic fix...BUT COME ON!

 

My BMI was high, but I guess I just carried it well for being 5'5 and 220 lbs. I noticed that for those people who were larger to start lost a whole lot more weight faster than me.

 

Is it because i was a little smaller than them?

 

Then my hair was thinning, Im taking biotin now so Im startin to notice a diffrence now in my nails and hair ....... oh well Im done complaining now.

    lol, I compared myself to jabba the hut,,, that blob of a villian on Star Wars, I would sign my emails at work, Jabba.., I know people do see the difference and there are days I do to, but for so long I saw myself as a blob.

    It will take a while to see the beautiful us that has been hidden underneath all that weight. We'll be ok!

    Youll get there. I promise. It took almost a year for me to get from a 22 to a 14. Couldnt wait to go shopping in the normal sizes again. It doesnt seem like it took that long before they were too big. I only wore my 14's for a couple months. I'm now in an 8 but long to be a 6senior (actually, a 6 at Eddie Bauer fit perfectly, but its the only place :( ) you'll probably whiz past those 14's faster than u realize.

    Good luck and have fun shopping

    Sexy is a state of mind/being not a size. How you feel about yourself shines through, so don't wait until you are the "perfect" size to be sexy, be sexy now...for yourself!
