Teresita 0 Posted September 28, 2005 When I loose weight especially weight lost that is noticeable to other people. I gain this confidence as if I can do ANYTHING. Last night at my TOPS meeting, no one wanted to volunteer to be on the anniversary committee so I did. Then no one volunteered to be on the game committee, again I did. I was thinking, “what am I thinking” what makes me think I can do this by myself. But you know what, I am going to do it and it will be done right. I find myself walking and sitting a little more erect. I pay a little more attention to my hair, my overall appearance. I have lost 44 pounds but sometimes I act like I have lost 90. Sometimes I will see a female with an awesome body or someone is giving me the “you are fat look” and it snaps me back to reality. I remember that I may have lost 44 pounds but I am still ((morbidly obese)) as an ignorant doctor once wrote on my chart years ago. I still need to loose 165 pounds. Hey, I just realized I need to loose 165 pounds to my most extreme goal. I didn’t know that, I have always been able to say; I need to loose at least 200 pounds. I didn’t know how close my goal is. Wowwww. Hum that’s a thought I did not expect to come out of this…… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Road Queen 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Congratulations on your loss and good job taking on the responsibilities. You are doing great and I bet you look awesome. Its not always the size but how you carry yourself that projects to others. Keep up the good work. Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinesqueen 2 Posted September 28, 2005 Oh! how you carry yourself, how you project yourself to others is critiical! People usually think I'm about two inches taller than I actually am. Oh to be 5'7".... I'm usually very confident, and people generally respond positively to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReneBean 3 Posted September 28, 2005 Cocky is good. Enjoy! And show them how it's done on that committee thing. Don't be afraid to delegate. Just cause nobody wanted to lead doesn't mean they don't have to work! :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
