Just one of those days :-l

[godsbeloved79]

Have you ever had one of those days where you went out and just felt so uncomfortable and wished you were smaller then you actually were?

I had one of those days (all day long). Went to church this morning and felt like I was so stubby in my cloths. Went to a party at the Water park and just felt so BIG (with a T-shirt and some shorts on). I know I'm doing what it takes to get the weight off, but I still have those moments were I wish I was already there .

And I forgot to mention how I felt when my husband introduced me to the owner of one of our contracts (we have a cleaning service). I felt so ugly and out of order. I guess all these negative thoughts will make me STRIVE harder to get in shape and be healthy - for life .

What about you?

Thank you sasasota & mrsislandqt. I know the "best" is yet to come with this WOL.

Y E S ! I know how you feel. I feel embarrassed for my husband when he introduces me. Even though he has never made me feel like he is ashamed of me, I am ashamed of myself. Even when I am introduced by my children to their friends, I wish I could be the beautiful mom. I look at the women who seem to have it all together and look good too, and I wish I could do the same. They eat right, exercise, and look perfect all day long. Your name says the truth though, and that's what we need to remember.

It is a tough journey at times, but we will do it. I have come to realize that I can't eat and do what others do. I have to compare my Christian walk with my WOE. It is the same objective. I have to find what works for me. We should be so GREATFUL to have such loving husbands that except us for who we are.

Yes. I have had those kind of days where I felt ugly or ashamed of myself, but not since starting this WOL this time around. I think the difference for me now is that I am exercising just about every day. The endorphins, or whatever, I get from exercising make me feel so good! I walk taller, look people in the eye, and feel so confident. I know I am making a difference in my health and am so proud of myself because I am moving in the right direction even if I still am overweight and can't fit into the size I want.

YoYoGirl,

Great job with working out. It does do a Body Good .

I know as time passes by and I stick with my NEW WOE............this will be a story of the "past" for me. I have made a commitment to lose the weight and keep it off. I will give myself a 5 lb increase from water weight and maybe TOM, and that is it!
