Belle... even at my highest weight, my hubby still said I am not fat or overweight.... so neither are you! You are not obese by any means and I bet you are healthier than she is... and I bet you can jog longer! Believe it or not, most men like women with a little something on thier bones! How comforting that is! And what you think may be beautiful may be way off from your bf. He most likely thinks you are way more beautiful... personality is a powerful thing! Don't dwell on it... challenge yourself to get to your goal and be happy with you!

I know you probably hate hearing this from everyone... but I struggle the same way you do. I question myself and my looks all the time. I have been married almost 3 years and I still wonder about the ex and why he liked her.... so you really aren't alone!

How about a..... {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}

Thanks Jen! Is actually nice to hear that someone else thinks about the ex. You make a very interesting point about the personality. After all, he has known her for 6 years and after that long, personality has LOTS to do with it....hmmmm

b/f says he doens' tlike skinny girls and when he sees them he makes comments like "someone should feed her". He does like healthy girls. AND he told me I am more fit than he is. How weird is that?? He said I am very fit, I even walk faster than him and I don't get out of breath as easily. Woo hoo. Considering I am 5 inches shorter and 30 lbs heavier than him!! I thought that was cool. :cool:

I do feel much better than I did this morning and way more in control. So thank you all for your advice, support and honesty about your own lives, self image and ex's. :)

Only 2 more hours to hometime, but then I am going out for dinner with the stepmonster! I hope the force is with me!!!

Jen - BTW you really DON'T look overwieght. The last pic you posted you looked very very thin!

And cute to boot!

Belle

Thanks Belle.. that pic of me in the green dress...I am (really I am..) 199. My Labor Day Goal!!!! And a size 14.

I am 15 pounds heavier at the moment.... arggg. But I am 5'8 and hide my weight really well.... SHEWWWWW. The pic I posted with little Emma way back when... I am about 220. I hope to post more pics soon, gotta find time to scan!

Its the one with Emma at the computer screen I believe that I am thinking of!

Yah Belle... I am about 220 there. My face is skinnier... I lost my double chin... FINALLY! It takes awhile for that chin to leave, but once it is gone, it really helps a person look thinner!!!

Thanks for the compliment! I think you look thin in your camping pics... even with the blankets one! :) You face looks thin.

PS... Are you procrastinating like I am?? 55 minutes and I am gone!

YES ! I think we win the award for most posts/least work in one day!! But i have a meeting from 4-5pm....I hate that b/c I usually leave at about 4:30. Oh well - BOOH!!!

Well, have a good night!

Belle

Belle: No problem. And to everyone, I hope I haven't come across as too *****y today. I just feel really tired and cranky and I have a killer of a headache.I just want to go home and sleep, but I have about another hour of work to do before I can get out of here.

I may run out to get some coffee, though.
