And excuse me, but who is that HOT skinny b*tch in your avatar?! Her upper arm appears to be about the same thickness as my wrist, LOL! You are lookin' sooo fine, Leighish. And again, HOLY CRAP, size ten?! That is so freakin' awesome!! Congrats!
One positive thing about me today is that I got to talk to a guy that I really like, and I'm not sure, but I don't think he was completely repulsed by me... And it's a really big step for me to actually think that a guy who I find extremely attractive might possibly not think I'm totally hideous. But I don't want to affirm that quite yet--it's still just a maybe. Even so, progress is progress!
Meredith, We've ALL seen your pictures and you are beautiful! There's no way that anyone can look at you and be repulsed... so get those thoughts out of your head! I bet you have guys that think to themselves after speaking to you that "there's no way she'd ever be interested in me. Meredith is WAY out of my league"
I'd put money on it.
Positive: I'm feeling strong and feel that I'll get down to 170 again soon, but this time I will look EVEN BETTER because I'll have done it while working out rather than losing muscle mass and being cushy. (I SO want legs that I can rock a skirt out in)
^Mmm, Mexican food! Sounds like you made some really good/healthy choices AND got to have a delicious meal at the same time! WTG!
leighish - LOL, and I remember looking at your progress pics and thinking There is NO WAY this girl is a 14... So it looks like you've finally come full circle! I told ya so!! Hehe. I am sooo jealous; I haven't gone jeans shopping in forever (since like 20 lbs ago!) and I really want to know if I've dropped a size, too!
preppingbride - I don't even know what to say... You are far too kind!! But seriously, thank you so much--that gave me like the biggest boost EVER.
One positive thing about me today is that I have access to an AWESOME website like 3FC, which was totally running through my head when I had a really strong urge to binge!! I kept thinking No, if I binge, I'll have to confess to the girls on the "Binge-Free" challenge thread and explain to the "Lean Mean Green Machine" challenge why I had a gain, and post the effects of my sins on the "Gain or Loss?" thread... Not to mention that I would be sure to leave the 160s just as soon as I got into them! Somehow I find that these thoughts pretty much stamp out any desire I might have to overeat, hehe! Thanks to all of you gals for keeping me honest!
^ Wooowee, what an awesome compliment! Who cares if he's a coworker? That doesn't make him obligated to tell you what a fine-a** woman you are! He did that all on his own. LOL!
One positive thing about me today is that I am GOING to start my final paper for Gender Studies. Or at least the outline. GOING TO DO IT. I swear. As soon as I finish posting on 3FC...
^ Oh hush, you know what I mean! He's not necessarily obligated to be nice to you, either.
One positive thing about me today is that I posted a new profile picture on Facebook yesterday, and today I had a couple nice comments on it! That certainly gave me a boost.
positive: back to real life without exam stresses! And I went on a shopping spree yesterday -- that was fun. 3 bikini's and 3 pairs of sandals later... I'm kind of excited for summer. lol
