had my waterloo days carnival and activities this weekend. let the kids ride rides and went to concerts. we had a great time. but now is another week. back to the sme old junk. i have so much on my mind lately and i don't know what to deal with first. i am so overwhelmed and tired and weak. i have spent hours in front of my closet and dresser looking at what is inside. the cloths never seem to do what i want them to do on my body, but i still go thru great lengths to ensure that i am properly dressed for the day. nothing feels right. i hate the way these pants make me look.this outfit makes me look fat and huge an dugly. in the end, my close are all over and usually wear the first outfit  that i chose. i am so worried and concerned that i wear the right clothes but i leave the rest of me unpertected like my insecurities and feelings and emotions,ect.  well the kids are waking so i better get on with my day. take care all and have a great day.

I am glad to hear that you guys had a good weekend. I know at time it\'s hard when you get overwhelmed but remember that not everthing has to be done right now and that you can ask for help.
Love ya Amanda-Kristen xoxo

you know what always helps? Do something for YOURSELF. Go shopping and pick out an outfit you fall in love with. that makes you feel good about yourself. Iv done it before and it makes me feel great. Dressing rooms always make me feel obese but in the end buying my self something always makes me feel powerful and good. You should try it. check it out see what happens. :) Best of luck.

Glad you had a good weekend! I\'m the same way with clothes. I try on my whole closet too and end up wearing the first thimg I put on. I sometimes think stores have trick mirrors, because I will try something on in the store and it looks great, then I get it home and try it on again and it looks terrible. I then end up returning, buying something else, and continue the same process.
In regards to your comment on my journal, I have talked to my husband about my feelings, but he\'s always right and I\'m always wrong.
Well, I hope you have a great week. Just take it one thing at a time and you\'ll get through everything you have to get through.

I\'m right there with ya! I\'m lucky if I find something that isn\'t stained or is long enough to cover my buddha belly! they make my size clothes so expensive, cuz they know they can! And then they fall apart or shrink after 2 wears... and i put them on ultra low heat ..how rude! My body image stops me from going many places.. but when I finally go I feel good for accomplishing it. I think you are making a lot of progress, i hope you agree :0)
