That was me right before my wedding in 2002. I was 143 pounds and I thought I was fat. *sigh*

ritzee, i think she can keep it...technically, it's a before pic.

Actually, I was 145 again in February. Then I got old and cranky and stressed. Now I wear grandma-esque elastic-waistbanded pantaloons. They are quite sexy.

Dude, that llama is so freakin' cute!

Ya know, Beth, I was thinking about what you wrote regarding your inspiration photo (which, yes, you look hot in!). You said you felt fat even then, right? We can all see you most certainly were not fat, then, so how do you approach this weight loss phase differently, so that you can sort of "love the skin you're in?" You know? I am not being particularly articulate, sorry! I guess what I'm asking is, what have you changed in the brain part to love and accept yourself more when you get to these healthy weights?

I totally don't mean to be all zen crunchy love-child on ya! :-) I just think that you've been down this road before with us, and wouldn't it be cool if we could smoothly pave it this time around, instead of having such a bumpy ride? You obviously have terrible health issues that make this process suck (and I am sorry for you on that front!!), but while you're working on fixing that stuff with the docs, perhaps there's a way to shift a little on the mental front too. Just a thought.

You are a knockout, Beth, and you don't want to get too hung up on some ideal weight that isn't necessarily appropriate for you. Instead, figure out something that will make you feel pretty, while also being manageable, sustainable, and where you can still enjoy life!

Whew. Didn't know I had so much to say! Sorry!

Glad to see ya back,

Lauren

OMGosh, that thing is HILARIOUS!

Heya, Beth.

Just wanted to stop by your journal and say "hi." You inspire me with your persistence, and wanted you to know.

Thanks Diana! I haven't seen you around a lot lately I'm glad you stopped by!

By the way, I know this is not allowed on MF, but since I am not currently on plan, I can share: Activia yogurt is wonderful for those of us with GI issues. It is so soothing to my belly, and really does work.

Ok, guys, no more llama jokes allowed on my thread. Apparently I am one of a group of insensitive, mean, dramatic people who are ruining this forum for everyone. Blah blah blah.

It is so sad that people just cannot take a joke. Maybe you should all eat a slice of pizza or something to make you less stressed.

Well, Drama Kym is - - I'm LMAO![/u]

I never realized before how people lose their sense of humor when they reach a certain age. People forget to laugh and have fun, everything has to be so serious. And then those people complain about other peoole having fun.

Is it because they are offended? No, it is because they are not "included" in the fun, so they have to ruin it for everyone else.

Some people just seem to join the Bandwagon of Offended People Club without even knowing why they were offended! It is because they feel a need to belong somewhere.
