Hi Janell

Welcome to WLB, You have just found the best group of

people who know just what you are going through. I

think nearly everyone here has at some point gone

through the low self esteem business. We understand

how difficult it can be to lose weight, and even worse

maintaining after you have lost it. So join right in,

you will soon get to know us. It is a fun,

motivational and friendly group. Look forward to

hearing from you again.

Hugs

Sue H.

Janell,

Welcome! I'm Gena, 38 married, have 2 girls, live in Alaska. At my

heaviest I was 284 lbs and so far am 207. I have learned through the

years that, your weight is not WHO you are! It is who you are on the

inside that counts the most. Believe me, skinny people have problems

too. So don't confuse self image with body image. If you want to lose

weight to get healthy and for your self that's great. But just don't

think it will magically make you feel great about yourself. That has to

come from inside.

I know what you mean about skinny sisters. I have 4 older sisters. The

oldest, , has never been any more then 10-20 at most overweight.

One time when she was 110 ( she is 5'5 3/4 " ) and I was 220 at the time

( I'm 5'3 " ) I made the mistake of saying how much I weighed and she

said " Gena, you are two of me.. ha ha ha! " can we say BITE ME??!! The

next one is about 180-220 for the last several years. Number 3 is

bigger then me and #4 is a bit smaller then me. They have all managed

to make me feel like crap about myself or weight through the years. Gee

wonder why I'm in Alaska and they are in Mn, Az, Co and Wi....... Hmmmm

I love my sisters dearly but I know they can make you. I learned a long

time ago to do what makes me happy. To do what I or my family needs,

meaning hubby and girls. That's what counts.

You have come to a great place and we definitely understand! I hope to

hear more from you. Meanwhile it is helpful to go through some old

posts.

Gena
