Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Elana, I'm soo glad you are feeling better. I am still up. Just started TOM this morning though so it better go down soon here! That work shop sounds really good. Hopefully as it progresses you will feel more comfortable and stop being soo hard on yourself. Believe the things they said. I believe in first impressions and if they are saying good things to you I'm sure they are true! I know from what I see here that you have a good heart and I'm sure they meant what they said. It is hard to look at ourselves as others see us. Even though I have lost a lot of weight I still feel very big but in my mind, I know I look a lot smaller than I feel. One thing that has helped me is really looking at pic of at my heaviest and now, so take pic's!!!! Line them up and really look at the differences. Don't just look at what is left, that's what I tend to do. I still see my huge belly but I neglect to see how much thinner my face and stuff looks. Really try to look at the pic's like you are looking at somebody else and like I said look at the differences from then to now. Here's an example with me. Doing laundry, I keep thinking things have shrunk. They look too small for me. Then I try them on to see and guess what they do fit! It is just mind games I swear. That's why I think looking at pic's helps. You can really " see " things the way they are. Don't feel bad about answering posts late. I'm not half way around the world and I get behind! As you can see, I'm answering this one late. We are here for help and support when you need us. Answer when you can and when you want to. But you have to live your life. This group is to help you, not make you feel guilty about wether you are here enough. It is a very busy group, I am in several and this one by far is the busiest!!!! But don't let it make you feel pressured in any way. Remember it is for support so whatever you need from us we will give you but that doesn't mean we expect everyone to be posting all the time or by a certain time. It's what you need from us that counts. does that make sense? You take care and have a good weekend.
