That's how it was for me with the recent wedding of my stepdaughter. I had wanted to lose a lot of weight before that event because hubby's size 2 ex was going to be there... but I didn't lose much. I was mad at myself because earlier this year, and had lost a lot of weight... and had gained it all back before the wedding. I would have felt better about myself if I had kept that weight off and had actually lost more before the wedding.<BR/><BR/>I did end up having a good time... but I felt very uncomfortable. I long for the day when I am thin... and hubby's ex sees me and can't believe how much weight I've lost. I totally get what you're saying.<BR/><BR/>Those other girls might be thinner than you... but you are gorgeous... and obviously have a much better personality. They sound like total skanks. I can't stand people like that, and if I were you... I wouldn't even want to breathe the same air as them. I'd take a good book over sluts like that any day of the week!Chubby Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130319992240173318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-11042288534923604532007-11-18T08:14:00.000-06:002007-11-18T08:14:00.000-06:00I think it's important to figure out why on earth ...I think it's important to figure out why on earth you'd care so much what these girls think of you. You wanted this "wow" moment where people (that not only are not your friends, but you also don't care too much for) notice your weight loss.... but doesn't it mean more when it comes from friends & those we love? Screw Penelope & Beyonce. Put more stock into how those closest to you notice your efforts!Tealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994083331228276203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-74164933988257327002007-11-17T00:07:00.000-06:002007-11-17T00:07:00.000-06:00Thanks Kat.

Becoming fat did a lot more to me than just change my appearance. It changed my self esteem too and thats not always so easy to change.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02938217552213908906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-24293037754178480072007-11-16T23:59:00.000-06:002007-11-16T23:59:00.000-06:00"Have you ever just been tired of trying, of being..."Have you ever just been tired of trying, of being fake? I just felt like I was there trying too hard to be liked.."<BR/><BR/>From your quote above, you have the answer! It seems we humans,are constantly seeking approval and acceptance from others. However we have to come to that place inside ourselves where it doesn't matter what others think or how they view us, what really matters is how God views us, and we ourselves. We can be our own worst critic sometimes and I will be the first to admit many times I'm my own worst enemy lol. <BR/><BR/>Situations like you explained, I was in before at one time of my life and its depressing. There will always be someone prettier than you, smarter than you, richer than you, etc. Just be who you are and if people don't like that then that's too bad for them! If you don't like who you are, then start changing things. <BR/><BR/>Hope you have a good rest of your weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
