Nope you guys are all wrong... I have lost 70 something pounds I have ONLY 20 something to go, and I feel just as fat as the day I started this.

I know I can look at pictures of before and "see"

The difference but a lot of times I don't actually feel it or see it in the mirror.

Today that picture is of a 47 year old woman who stayed up until 2 am last night, by the way fighting food cravings from 9pm on. Woke up at 7am drank some coffee and grabbed some clothes laying around, threw her hair in a bun, no make up. To run out the door to pick up her son.

I took the picture because I feel like ****! I feel fat and gross (the same way I felt before)

I didn't even have to worry about "**** I have to leave the house what do I have that fits" ( out of my two pairs of 22 size pants)

I was able to grab anything. All the while, playing the "your fat" loop in my head.

There are days that I make this so hard on myself. Some days I think I've got this down, I'm on top of the world and think good girl look at you! But I must admit I have more moments of being hyper critical of myself.

I see all of your before and afters (or during) and I want to look like you.

I want to see myself, I try to see myself as being successful... But it escapes me sometimes.

Well when I look at that picture I see a skinny, good looking woman who is in a mood about something! Keep working on that self talk. It's just mean! Take a good look at your pic: You are rockin' those collarbones! And to top it all off, you are an inspiration and rock to so many here!

I think you know my fav thoughts on this, but I'll say them again:

  • What would you tell your best friend? (Thanks cognitive behavior therapy!)
  • You can't hate yourself thin. (Thanks Elina!)
  • Self soothing doesn't have to be self-destructive. (Thanks Writer Girl!)

I do think as the years go by, the food cravings are going to lighten up. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. I know it's true about cigarettes. I quit in 1991. I still want one every once in a while, but it's not like it was the first few months and years.
