Anybody can go on a diet. But being lovely as you are is something not many can achieve. <br />I was never happy with the way I look. Never will be. So I totally LOVE how you mustered the bravery to post that picture- sorry to inform you that you look every bit the gorgeous woman you are!!lisbonlionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199372003999708772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-25001021984932895872010-10-12T14:21:18.743-07:002010-10-12T14:21:18.743-07:00OH, how I wish I could play in those leaves. I ha...OH, how I wish I could play in those leaves. I have no leaves here. I love your backyard.<br /><br />And here's my uncomfortable truth...<br /><br />I need to lose 50 lbs. And I joined Weight Watchers online. You are not alone -- oh, how I wish I could meet you at the gym to encourage each other.<br /><br />I can't blog about it. I have mean neighbors...who have a history of saying mean things about each other on their blogs and I know they'll get this little tidbit of information and just thrive knowing that I've been struggling since my celiac dx last year.<br /><br />The first step towards a healthier ME was breaking lose of those relationships. I don't need to be friends with people who take my acts of kindness and tear them apart.<br /><br />The next step was acknowledging it.<br /><br />I tried to convince myself it wasn't as bad as it is. It took me a few months to actually admit that I need to lose FIFTY pounds. (That's, like, HALF of 100).<br /><br />Then I started going to the gym.<br /><br />And I joined WW. <br /><br />And here I am.<br /><br />Hanging by a thread, 1 pound less than the lightest weight I've seen in 8 months. 7 pounds down from that first weigh in.<br /><br />So, wait....that's 42 to go.<br /><br />I'm right here alongside you, my friend.<br /><br />PS -- Are you on FB? If you are FIND ME! I can talk about it there!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-29876813560150046412010-10-12T02:50:59.473-07:002010-10-12T02:50:59.473-07:00HOORAY for CINDY!!! First off you are beautiful. ...HOORAY for CINDY!!! First off you are beautiful. Secondly, I won't make you wear a bikini - LOL. <br /><br />Well, I don't think I have ever shared this on my blog, but I used to be about 30 pounds heavier than I am now. I started watching what I ate, made healthier choices, and worked out. I am pretty comfortable with where I am now - hell, I show my abs on my blog - hehe. But, I have so been there...so been at the point where I am beginning the journey and working on making the time and putting the energy into "me". You are so worth every ounce of energy and planning you put into you Cindy. Keep up the amazing work. I am so proud of you and you my friend should give yourself a big pat on the back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-82962056245161927942010-10-11T22:24:33.033-07:002010-10-11T22:24:33.033-07:00You are beautiful. I don't know your weight, ...You are beautiful. I don't know your weight, or your goal weight, but I hope you remember that you're not alone. My husband has similar frustrations about d mgmnt and exercise, he however is one of those that seems to have the metabolism of a bird and just eats whatever. But still the lowest lows and highest highs I've seen for him have been due to exercise. When we went to an ADA family camp this last fall he met a few other adults with diabetes who meet monthly to talk about d mgmnt and various topics. They're great people and a lot of them are very active. Maybe there is something similar in your area or online for you. <br />Keep it up and all the hard work and honestly will pay off, making you able to see how beautiful you really are.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.com
