Somedays I feel like that scale is my worst enemy but I can't seem to get away from it. <br /><br />I wonder if having my hubby steal my scale for awhile could help. My guess is it would change my perception of success and that may not be a bad thing.TracyZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340377901241655973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-38945287581214518952010-11-05T15:48:33.406-07:002010-11-05T15:48:33.406-07:00Yay on wearing your sister's sweater...I'l...Yay on wearing your sister's sweater...I'll bet you looked gorgeous...because you are.Cindylewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540643788281963704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-43309325103581103012010-11-05T09:40:55.782-07:002010-11-05T09:40:55.782-07:00I can really relate to what you are saying, Tess. ...I can really relate to what you are saying, Tess.

It's like when we were at our heaviest there just wasn't any point in wishing this thing or that was better because the whole package wasn't so good - but now it's just easier to see this or that and wish it was different. We all need to figure out a way to cut ourselves some slack. I bet The Dash is right though, at some point it'll be magic and the rest will be a whole lot easier to take!Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065650807764320970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-78637494939989040522010-11-04T15:47:34.398-07:002010-11-04T15:47:34.398-07:00I must admit I have the same internal dialogue and...I must admit I have the same internal dialogue and insecurities and I am not even banded yet.

I really think this is true.<br />You won't be a bag of bones but yeah, you're body won't be perfect either... I know mine isnt. But I have to tell you...compared to where I was 18 months ago, my body, my heath, my looks are all 150 percent better than it was. Seriously. You learn to overlook the little flaws that are left over because well, you're now thin and I'm telling you Tess baby.. being like this is magic.. just pure magic. Your DH will love you madly no matter what your size.. now you just have to believe it xxTHE DASH!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08658679261310931377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-68667280300797381552010-11-04T15:04:53.552-07:002010-11-04T15:04:53.552-07:00I've noticed that ironically the better I look...I've noticed that ironically the better I look, the more critical I am, so you are definitely not alone.

I think it is really how we are projecting ourselves. Feeling good on the inside is showing on the outside. We aren't hiding behind baggy clothes anymore. Hope you don't get all sweaty thinking about the scale. Go for the jeans.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400904095865742386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-68036680088638837872010-11-04T13:54:35.180-07:002010-11-04T13:54:35.180-07:00P.S.

Because your body is changing, and the scale does not necessarily register that. <br /><br />Try not to worry about the loose skin. It does get better (I know this mostly from my stretched out stomach, which has shrunken considerably). But if not, there's always plastic surgery if it REALLY bothered you in a major way. <br /><br />You look great now and I know you will look great at goal! Love the NSV with sister's clothes!Genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414571860592267584noreply@blogger.com
