Kallie...

Fabulous! I am so looking forward to being able to look at myself in pictures

again. I remember those days. I have been keeping an inner dialogue journal this

week ( a Kay Pace Keepers assignment) and have caught myself saying some

very derogatory things about and to myself when I pass in front of the mirror.

What's that all about? I keep reminding myself that it took awhile to get this

way and that it will take some time to get it off. Am am excited thought that in

3 weeks I have lost 13 lbs. How fun is that. Your email gave me hope that it

will be my turn soon.

April, Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your news. I am thrilled for you.

What a sense of accomplishment you must have gained from that.

Mitch, as always you are a boon to me and a great role model.

Keep up the good work everyone...I am pulling for you all and am so grateful to

have been able to find a group like this one.

Surprising Compliment!!

Well some of you may remember me posting about going to a house party

last Saturday night. At any party or function I always take my

camera, at this one I forgot. Two of my friends had their cameras and

they took a lot of pictures.

Well, this morning when I went to the post office to get my mail, I

had one really surprising conversation!!! One of my friends who works

there, came over and said hey Kallie, did you see any of the pictures

that H. took at the party, I said no. She said well I still haven't

got mine done yet, but you should see her's.

Now the good part is that these two friends are the skinny minnies we

all mention at times. One is around 125-130 and the other around the

140 mark, but she is around 5'8 " .. Well I was not expecting her to

say what she did, because I do not take good pics. Anyway the other

friend said look at that Kallie, she's a lot skinner than we are now,

and the friend I was talking to said your right, she is. She said

they never realized just how much smaller I was until they looked at

me in pictures. Then she said you took the best pictures of the

whole bunch...blush, blush, blush!!!

I said there is no way I am smaller than you's( because I know I am

heavier), and she said well you wait til you see them. Joking, I said

if they are that nice I want a copy. But let me tell you it was such

a surprise to hear this, and caught me completely off guard, because

when they were snapping them, the whole time I kept grinding my teeth

and trying to get away from the cameras view. I did not want them to

have my pics in their albums at all, I still keep thinking I look

like I did 68 lbs ago.

Anyway I really felt great after this, I kind of thought well no one

mentions it and to actually hear it from someone who very rarely

dishes out compliments was WONDERFUL!!

I am still on a high, I guess you could say it made my day!! WOW!!

That's so awesome, Kallie!

I had the exact opposite experience the other day, but with the same

outcome. I was at a friend's house and she had found so OLD photos of

a camping trip we had went on when I was at my largest about four

years ago. I was in shock, to say the least, but it made me really

appreciate all the hard work I've put in to be where I am now. It's

been a long journey for me and I sometimes " forget " where I've come

from.
