I feel very lucky that so far in my life (knock on wood) I have not struggled too much with my weight, and I am in awe of those who do and manage to conquer it. You are an inspiration!sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-9978697164714211852011-03-02T12:11:22.738-05:002011-03-02T12:11:22.738-05:00The old image of thyself is hard to let go of comp...The old image of thyself is hard to let go of completely. I am still very judgmental of myself at the size I am, and am constantly critical of my arms and "gunt." There is a lot of self-talk involved, as you are learning. The proof is in those sizes, though!<br /><br />Have you had a photo of yourself, in clothes that fit, taken recently (even by Peter)? That might be a good mental exercise for you - compare it side-by-side to yourself as your largest. You may not still like the newer, more svelte, you, but the change in itself will be undeniable.<br /><br />Also, perhaps focus or shift your thinking to the fact of how much healthier you are at this size . . . could the heavier version of you have run 5 miles, for example? (And while pushing a stroller with 50-60 pounds of babies & gear?! I THINK NOT!)<br /><br />Keep focusing on the example you are giving your children, too. I take a lot of selfish pride in knowing that in the years to come, my girls will be (hopefully) be proud to point me out as their mom - someone who is fit, in shape, and with good hair. I like looking like a "yummy mummy," if you will spare the expression ;o)<br /><br />I have had several guy colleagues (the kind I can joke with in my line of work) say I am a "MILF." I like that, and am not ashamed of it ;o)Ms. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734867984972785143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-45327812324226516282011-03-02T11:42:32.104-05:002011-03-02T11:42:32.104-05:00Keep up the good work!

I'm not sure we'll ever be able to see ourselves as the 'real' way we are, becuause we have such twisted views of what we look like. My husband struggles with frustration becuase he sees the 'real' me, not what I've made up in my head!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749642916899596407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-80180383924602379062011-03-02T08:21:20.272-05:002011-03-02T08:21:20.272-05:00You're doing amazing, amazing, amazing!You're doing amazing, amazing, amazing!Mother Knows Best Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127811116486063201noreply@blogger.com
