Aww... thanks!

Hmm... I think I can get my body to look like her if I stand all awkward and wrap toilet paper around my body to make it look like her bathing suit. LoL. Ooolala sexy!

WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL!! NO MATTER WHAT SIZE. COLOR. ShApE.

Every day I look in the mirror and find one thing to compliment myself on. I honestly do believe that if you believe you are beautiful everyone else will too. Yeah, the scale may say otherwise, but then I think... Why am I taking beauty tips from an object that's only designed to spit out numbers?

You should be proud of yourself.
You've accomplished something great!
Yeah, your number may not be the ideal one in your mind but dont let the 2xx's dissappoint you.
Just getting out of the higher number is always something to celebrate and be proud of.

She is standing awkward isn't she LOL

Well Veronica, me personally I do not think that we are all beautiful, "we" meaning mankind. There are many people I do not think are beautiful, and I am sure there are some weird creatures on this earth that will not find me beautiful as well There are very few people who I think are ugly, and more often than not it is because of their attitude / behavior / personality.

I know I am beautiful and see many beautiful things about myself. Eh some days I feel a little fluffy and some days not so cute, but that's ok. I think that's normal...probably part of being human. I cannot think of anyone else on this earth who I would want to be besides myself, and those not so cute days are few and far between I am one hot mama Sometimes insults from others can hurt, but when it really boils down to it, it does not change the view I have of myself. If others think I am not beautiful...that's really okay with me....so long as they still treat me with common respect. And let me clarify...if someone tells me, "I do not find you attractive," i do not think that is an insult because it is their opinion expressed with common respect. But if someone says to me "MY WORD you are UGLeeee" I would think that is an insult. I think insults hurt me sometimes because they catch me a bit off guard...normally it comes from people I have either been nice to or least expect it from. Its pretty rude to insult people when they have done absolutely nothing to you. Sometimes I am still surprised at the things people say and the ill-will people harbor in their hearts towards other men and women. This is what hurts me the most.

Inner beauty really supersedes outer beauty for me. Someone can be physically unattractive and once I know them and their beautiful soul, i can honestly not see that person as unattractive anymore. I cannot think it or say it. I also cannot stand dishonest compliments, I will never tell someone they are pretty or beautiful unless I mean it. There are some people I can say are pretty even though they are ugly inside. It's true they are physically beautiful...but it stops there LOL If people reject my compliments or think nothing of them, that's cool....I'm definitely not the ultimate authority on things

So yeah...I think this world has beautiful people as well as ugly people, physically and personality-wise. From one person to the next opinions differ, and beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. To me an ugly personality is one of the ugliest things in the common era

Why is that Tamwalt? It's such a huge accomplishment!!!! If I lost 15 lbs I think I would be doing some breakdancing....like one of those headspinning floor worm things...

You are doing awesome darlin' don't let anything or anyone take away from that! It took a lot of strength for you to start this journey and you have already crossed a major milestone. Allow yourself to enjoy your victories you are so worth it....and even more

Thanks Kevi! Believe me I am happy about every pound lost I do not have any really good advice on pimples. My only thoughts are maybe it is diet related....have u been eating greasy stuff? Any recent changes in your diet? Could also be hormones.

[Kevi12]

I would say hormones, my brother went through thesame phase so yeah.

[tamwalt]

I'm a very impatient person, lol... I guess that's one reason, and secondly, I just want better results, I know I'll be proud of myself when I reach 250, 200, and definitely 140, but *shrugs* in due time I suppose.

[pink clouds]

yes I understand that all too well lol I am giving myself 20 months to make this happen and the first month is almost over. Not a bad month so far i lost three pounds. We will get there We have similar goals....I am waiting to hit 135 my ultimate goal.

[veronandez86]

Yeah, I understand.

I wish this would all happen faster for myself too. I just know that if I dont feel proud of myself for my little losses that I will just give up.

My first goal is to get down to 200 by the end of the year. I hope it's possible. That's around 45 pounds I need to lose within 7 months. Eh, I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe it is possible for me. This month has been awesome for me, the weight has been comming off quickly compaired to when I first started and wasn't losing anything.

The goal weight I want to be at is 165. I think that'd be an appropriate ideal weight considering my height and my bone size.

I completely agree with what you are saying. I'm an inner beauty person too. I've known way too many beautiful girls and handsom guys who spew hurtful and shallow things which makes them totally ugly to me.

I'm feeling you, and I have a problem with getting excited over losing a pound or two and eating crap until they come back.

Also, what a cute avatar pic! You look nonplussed. :-)
