I had an old friend pass away this week, so other past friends on Facebook were posting thoughts, condolences, adding me to give me funeral info etc. I started glancing through a few of the guy's photos and they all look GREAT! I gained 130lbs, have horrible acne, breast reduction, gone grey, wrinkly, hairy and lumpy. I know, I know, my husband loves me for me but still...WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? I used to be this fun loving, lively, bodybuilder and dancer and now... ugh.
I had one "okay" photo of me on Facebook and after reviewing all of their's decided to take it back OFF. I'm so embarrassed. I believe their photos are current as they look about the same age as me, with their kids about the same age as mine, so know it's not just "an old photo" of them. They also posted school reunion photos a couple of years ago and there was not one really fat person there. I do realize that I'm better off than my classmate (btw, was my first huge crush and my first real kiss) as he is dead and I'm not. The real funny thing is that I would NEVER go to a school reunion or even meet up with anyone from school as I'm too embarrassed of my weight. I'd be the one they'd talk about "ooh, look at her, she's just let herself go and she looks so old!" LOL I'm depressed and sad. This freakin' fibro and chronic pain is the reason but I LET it win. Well, no more. As of today, I'm on a diet and going to start exercising at a pool. It will be easy as the guys will be away for 5 weeks and my mom is on Herbal Magic. Maybe if I see some results after 5 weeks, I'll be able to continue on. Thanks for listenin'. You all keep me SANE! Posted on 11/06/09, 12:11 am |

today i felt the same way. gained weight and my clothes don't fit. but the sad part is when i read your comments i felt better.....some days it's enough to just have a body that works. that gets me out of bed and into my car and allows me to have my little life. there have been years when my body didn't function hardly at all. we need to rest a lot and that means we need to eat very little. still need nutrition, more than most. it seems to me to be a life long struggle. i've been anywhere from 125.lbs. to 205lbs. it's scary. and we need to have so much control just not to give up on life. so i'm not surprised that we all have weight issues. here's hoping we can lose our weight gently and healthily and still feel loving and valuable. what can our bodies do, not what do they look like.

and i wanted to applaud you, forgot to say, how great it is to still be in the fight. you will look better and feel better if you can move around a little more. water, warm water is the best. i couldn't exercise till i started sleeping. i use xyrem for that. i wish you luck. i know it's very hard to want to be pretty all our lives. hard to give up. so i'm glad you're not!
