 |  Pictures
It's amazing how you can be going along thinking you're looking good, then bam you look at some pictures of yourself and you see how far you still need to go. Now I'm not discrediting the progress I've already made, I know I have done well on my journey and look so much better than I did almost a year ago, but it's still hard to look at pictures and realize you aren't there yet. Gotta keep on trucking along though, it's not over yet!
Edited to add, the reason behind this down in the dumps moment is because I was at a 4th of July family get together Saturday and just saw the pictures on FB a bit ago. : /

Nell, I think you are looking amazing and I love the new photo you are using now. I remember thinking that when I first saw it. You've almost lost 150 lbs.! That is incredible! |

Given a choice between looking at the pictures from this year's gathering or last year's, I'm betting you'd choose this year's. Is your glass half full or half empty? You're 2/3 of the way to your goal!!
Be gentle with yourself. You're still healing.

CT you are right, as a matter of fact I wouldn't have gone last year, I would have stayed in the house or sat on the sidelines watching everyone else having the fun.

there are definitely highs and lows on this wl journey. I am just beginning and have felt it and see all of you hit those bumps in the road. But we are here to support and uplift one another. You have worked so hard and deserve to have fun! We are a work in progress, you will get to where you want to be. Like you said, keep truckin and enjoy the ride as you go 
BTW, do you realize other family members are looking at the same pics and remarking how much weight you have lost and how good you look?

My 8 yr old granddaughter saw a pic of me and said Nana I don't remember you this size. Thank God!! It was only a year and a half ago and I hope my grandchildren won't remember as the years go by just how big I was. My 7 year old granddaughter says I am so much better because I eat healthy and take my vitamins. I hope that my experience will be a positive for them.

Aww Nell, be kind to yourself. You know darn good and well how tough this is and where you came from! You are doing amazingly well and look fantastic! Remember the journey and learn what you can from it at those difficult points along the way.

I think you look great and we all have days we feel down its ok I found that self positive talk and affirmations (I think thats what they call them) help a lot. In the morning I have 10 little sayings I say to myself in the mirror... Before I never would have but the psych dr gave them to me when I have my appt with him for wls and i have been doing them and they really make me feel good Maybe something you can try Here is an example of some Free Daily Affirmations - Inspirational Weight Loss Diet Quotes - Motivation | |
