Things I hate:
My lack of self esteem
The inches of skin that hangs from my upper arms after losing almost 100 lbs years ago
The saggy skin still left on my upper thighs that the dr says no amount of exercise will tighten
my flat saggy butt
my once firm chest now looking like deflated bags under my shirt
I like
That I can walk and not be winded
That I am not always hating myself
That I have hope
I love:
That my husband asked me to marry him when I was almost 250 lbs and treated me then as he does now, as if I was priceless the most attractive and desirable woman in the world. I love the fact that I don't feel he loves me more or desires me more now that I am average weight.
I love that after all these years together I have finally reached that point where I don't gasp or suck it in when my husband touches my stomach
Accept and like that my stomach and abdomen now don't gross me out when I look at myself in the mirror..that I can actually see my underwear
I have went from 248 lbs to 147. I am currently 175, hoping to get back to 150 at some point. I have learned one important thing from my highest to my lowest setting, losing the weight doesn't change how you feel inside about yourself or fix any emotional issues you have. I wished I had known that before.
