i read thru the new posts almost daily, and one common vein i have found is Low self esteem.. just because we are overweight Doesnt mean we dont have our good points about us too.. i have really been trying hard to work on my self esteem lately.. being Fat doesnt make me Less of a person or Ugly..
So, ill start this off at the risk of sounding vain lol ( which im not, believe me lol)
Name your Two best physical features
1. my hair.. it is long, thick, drk auburn and reaches my bum
2. my eyes.. they are brown, kinda heavy lidded Bedroom eyes lol
My eyes, a real nice blue
My skin, at 53, I don't look it, so I've been told
My determination, without it I wouldn't have lost 50 lbs so far
My sense of humor which helps out in bad times
My ability to encourage others to keep pushing for their goals
Well I love my hair. I can do anything with it! Plus I love changing up the color from time to time.
I also love my skin. Never had a real breakout or anything like that.(good skin genes)
And last I love my nose lol. Its odd but I like it. It fits my face perfectly and when I had my nose stud it looked sooo cute.
My Independence - despite being overweight since my teens I still like my independence and think nothing of travelling on my own, whilst so many of my friends who are overweight some by a lot less than me are almost recluses, I have a friend now and I really worry about her state of mind and how she perceives herself and what others think of her, I wish I could help her more but we are so far apart.
My Eyes – they are blue and the nice thing I got off my mum, I didn’t inherit the skinny gene from her side of the family I got the fat one from my Dad’s family… lol
My Hair – Since I grew it long after having it short for years I much prefer it, it’s thick and curly…
I know I have low self esteem, although hubby has done a good job of making me feel better about myself than I ever have before. My ex did a good job of making me feel repulsive and not worthy of loving.
I am not happy with my body, in fact the more weight I lose and the saggier everything is, the less happy I am with it. BUT if I have to pick two things that I do like about myself they would be:
1. My wrists (weird I know )
2. My nails.
Great question, and Faerie, you are so lucky to have no self esteem issues, I sure wish you could send some of that confidence my way
--I like my eyes. They're a very green hazel, with almost no brown/gold at all. How cool are green eyes?
--I have strong, graceful hands with long fingers. I have been complimented on them many, many times. (Thanks grandma!)
--I have very shapely legs that look great in above-the-knee length skirts, thanks to 17+ years of various sports and kinds of exercise.
--My skin is clear, pale, bright, and unlined. Thanks mom, both for handing it down genetically and teaching me to take care of it!
--I am a gentle, kind person with a punk, fun streak. I love my personality. It's fun to be me. Example: I'm going to a Garth Brooks (country music) concert tonight, wearing a red plaid pleated schoolgirl skirt, a black tshirt with a funky red cat on front, black tights and black&red Mary Jane Doc Marten shoes. Country music? Punk clothes? Works for me!
