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

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. :-)

I was thinking the same thing but did not want to say it. Tamwalt you are tooooo cute!

[Kevi12]

I'm also very impatient! I keep telling myself to run, but end up not running lol. I do lift weights and play basketball afterwards so yeah. I think that's normal, just keep doing what your doing and you'll be fine.

LOL!! Thanks! ... to you too pink.

When I get to my goal weight of 140, I'll decide if I want to lose a bit more or not, but 140 would be right on the border of being a normal weight... according to online BMI calculators... but, I'll adjust it when I get to that point ... I;m hoping with in less than 2 years... is that even realistic? I don't want my Son to remember me as morbidly obese... but as the fun, healthy, fit cool Mom! He's one, I still have some time....

[veronandez86]

Tamwalt, I totally believe that you can lose the weight you want to within 2 years.

I bet your son is probably having you chase him around the house since he's walking/running now huh?

Kids are so cute. I dont have any of my own but I can't believe how fast they grow up.

Oh my, the minute I read this part in your post I was reminded of this episode of the original Twilight Zone series. (LoL... I'm such a Sci-fi channel nerd)

I haven't seen that episode in forever, but I believe the girl in it got to a certain age, so her mom sent her to this factory type of place where they sat you down and while there you got to choose what kind of a body you wanted based on the pictures of what they considered to be the "beautifully perfect" women in the world. I might be telling it wrong... but that's pretty much my take on what I remember from that episode.

I think that'd be crazy to just wake up your ideal weight. Ha, I remember when I was in high school I went to sleep one night and prayed that I could wake up looking like J-Lo. LoL, boy was I disappointed. What would also be weird is if you could wake up and just like choosing your clothing for the day, you can choose what size bottom / bust / other body parts you wanted to have for that day. LoL.

It will come, like with all things, in time. Patience is a verchue, although it's really anoying to have to wait.. lol

If i woke up my ideal weight i would call in that day and request an immediate vacation....I then would hit up Bloomingdales, Macys, some other stores at the mall, and the Dooney and Bourke outlet. Before i go anywhere, I honestly think I would spend like 3 hours in the mirror, one hour in the shower, and one hour putting on lotion. It's a good thing the malls are open late

[Hope2]

veronandez,

Haha... Yeah, that does sound like a twilite zone episode...lol...

Gees Umm, so with this picking body size, by the peice thing, umm so we could exchange some deflated baloones for nice perky ones.. Ahh man, that would be neet! no change in size desired, just um, natural support..Yes please!

Pink,

Don't think you could pull off b***y if you tried. I think I would laugh at you... lol...


"I am a bit conceited regardless of what others think of me"

Haha, I love it!!! Conceited... lol.. I wouldn't have pegged you for that "type" pink...


Nat,

Glad to see you in much better spirits! Seriously, it's great to see... Glad you are feeling positive and moving in the direction you want to!!!!!

[pink clouds]

Conceited
ADJECTIVE:

Holding or characterized by an unduly high opinion of oneself; vain.

yes maybe that word is not a good one because I do not think it is unduly high...but maybe that in itself is vain and conceited

[Hope2]

So the beauty thing...

I think I'm smart, but there are smarter, I think I'm nice but there are nicer, I think I'm patient but there are more patient people out there etc. etc...

I do think I'm beautiful, inside, and yes my outside package isn't half bad. But what's funny, is, when you think your beautiful inside, enough anyway to be at least somewhat content, then it's ok if other's can't see it. It truley is.

I love that I'm a work in progress, my whole life, I will be no doubt. We all are after all unfinished, and I love that I am... I love learning about others, and I love learning about me. I don't know if my insides are more beautiful then someone elses, after all lots of grumpy people, are actually really hurt souls, and I have seen people transform in front of my eyes. So I tend to think that all people who are bitter, mean, etc, are just lost and hurt. So in a sence, I do belive we all are beautiful. Not all things that are done are, or said, or felt.. But that's part of the human condition, imperfection, and the chance of a new day, a chance to learn and grow, and become... well more..

I think those that can't love, truley and deeply, just don't love themselves enough... And I feel sad for them.. Which at times has been to a downfall of sorts for me... There is a big difference then loveing yourself, and being conceded...lol pink... I do not think you are conceded, I think you just love yourself, your not full of yourself!!! And you are allowed my dear...
