I agree, I cannot believe I let myself gain the 70 pounds I took off a few years ago. Every last pound of all that hard work is gone. We can do this, though! We know what to do, and it's just a matter of making the right choices repeatedly.

I have ONE PAIR of pants left from my size seven days. I'll wear them again if it kills me.

I know exactly what you mean. I look back at some of my college pictures and think "how did I not know I was pretty back then?" I was so insecure because I weighed a whopping 135 pounds and wore a size 10. All the other girls were 4's and 6's but I still looked GREAT.

I feel young and vibrant and fun still. My hardest thing is seeing pictures of my face. It's puffy and red and I have too many chins. Forget the body- if I could even just get my FACE back I'd be thrilled. The person I see in pictures and the mirror isn't me.

I have never been 'thin & gorgeous' except for one time when I was really sick and lost a lot of weight. Then when I got better I put it all back on again and added a few friends as well.

I want to see photos of myself and not be embarrassed and ashamed of them.

Wow, reading this literally brought tears to my eyes. All I can say is YES! It makes me ill to see snapshots people take at get-togethers. I'm am truly disgusted at what I see ... and have apparently been oblivious to what I really looked like.

On my fridge is a picture of me only a few short years ago and nearly 60 lbs lighter. Those skinny day jeans and cute tops are lingering in the back of the closet waiting to see the light of day again. I just wanna smack myself for not realizing just how 'thin' I used to be... but darn it, I'm gonna get back there
