I am watching it in my dear friend (she has lost 40lbs to date) and I know, that my own emotional journey, is just around the corner. The internal stuff takes so much longer than changing the outside, doesn't it?JRohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653721554777878755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191270631985185340.post-12684093189911315932008-10-25T20:32:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:32:00.000-07:00It is so much easier to starve than to find the he...It is so much easier to starve than to find the healthy balance. it's an easy trap to fall into.

Most people i talk to about having to work throught the emotional aspect of this weightloss journey just give me this blank expression. They have no idea unless they've been there. This was a very brave blog girl. Thank you so much for making it. I can identify with alot of what you had to say. I have alot of the same struggles. I'm learning how to take a compliment with out just brushing it aside. I'm learning to accept the compliment and say thank you sincerely. I have been receiving so many compliments especially at my work its almost overwhelming. My locker door has become a bulletin board. I posted my 5k race there and got so many well wishes written on it and i posted a picture of me actually running it and got even more. Nov 1st is my one year anniversary and i'm gonna post before and current pictures on my locker. I just hope it encourages just one person and makes them think it is possible to turn your life around and do it healthily, slowly. <BR/> I'm so glad your doing the emotional work Sarsy. I think you've lost this weight for the last time. Its gonna stay off!Because your a whole new person now. Give yourself a hug from me! Do you like that song from Jordin Sparks "One step at a time" ? Its my inspiration song of the moment. I will post a new blog in the next day or two. Stay tuned!

I completely understand everything you are talking about.<BR/><BR/>Depression sucks. I was on meds for 5 yrs. I should have seen a therapist & probably should still now but the time on the meds gave me enough time to quite my mind to have enough of those little "moments by the lake" like you had tonight to help me move on. I still have my moments of self-loathing but it isn't a daily struggle to walk out the door & into society.<BR/><BR/>I know this doesn't really matter, because I use to hear it all the time but it never changed my mind, I always thought people were just "being nice," but you are beautiful. You body & all, but most especially your face.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651950351947133261noreply@blogger.com
