I remember when...

[vinesqueen 2]

Hmmm, The last time I thought I looked good? That would be the night when I joined the new dance group near my home. The night I wowed the entire class, the night I wowed the drummers. I know I looked really good, I felt really good.

But looking good and being thin are not the same thing. Some thin people do not look good, and some fat people are beautiful.

The first one is from the thread "Pictures in my mind" I think lots of people have a Fat immage of themselves. I know that I was made to look at a "fat" pix of me when I was a teen, in hopes that I would be repulsed by myself. I hope no one has to be raised by wolves. This is before I develpoed Cushing's.

:hug: lol cashley.. thread killer. i know the feeling, but i don't think it's you. so many of us just don't have those pictures. :scared: I so often kick myself for not having BEFORE pictures, before I ever became overweight.

I love your pics, btw, you're a gorgeous woman!

Dayuuummmm! Pink you look HOT! How funny. Man, time just FLIES! We are better older though, I think! Great pics everyone. Keep them coming!

Man, I wish I had some of my old pictures scanned in. I remember when I was wearing a 34 waist jeans, and thought that I was the fattest in fat land. Yeah. Now, my goal is to be in 36 waist jeans. Hmmm.

You know everyone has been saying that we don't realize how thin we are when we were there and that is soo true.

But I did have one "weight related blessing" and that was I got back down to goal in 2002 and stayed there for about 9 months.... it was heaven and I appreciated every second of it. When I started gaining I fought so hard to stay down but my life style (traveling for my job) and time constraints took me from exercising and the weight just fell back on. I gained over 90 pounds in a year.

But I remember... what it was like.

This was in 2000. What a difference six years can make.

I went looking back through my photos to find a "goal" photo when I decided to have the sugery - I realized as l looked at them that in each one I can remember thinking "god I'm fat" "i look terrible" etc. I was wearing a size 10 in some of them! What I would do to be there again!

What I realized was the last time I felt good about my body was when I was 18 year old. My daughter was 1 year old (yes I got an early start) AND I had a tan!! I'll find the pic and scan it in.

*laughs* I hate pics of myself, but last night I got a bit tipsy (I know, you're all shocked about that.. oh shup. *laughs*) Anyway, I'll be darned if I didn't end up with pics I actually am happy to look at. In fact, I'm posting them all over the place. *laughs again* Soo... I did this little experiment and ya know.. There just might be some hope for me yet. Another 80 pounds and a little PS on that turkey gobbler I've got going on there, and hm... maybe.. just maybe there's some life left in this old girl afterall. *winks*
