we all have enough to deal these days with and don't need the added stress of weight issues.....so....don't let images of other women control your thoughts !!!
We ALL have attributes that are special only to us and if you have someone who loves you for you - & YOU love you for you - that's all that matters.
I had gained a few lbs the last 2 years and obsessed over it - I lost it after my husband died and got TOO thin and can say honestly - being really thin isn't always healthy looking  In my mind - I didn't really think it was alot but a good friend told me I looked like a refuge...that's when knew I had to eat or I'd get sick.
I learned my lesson and now am just counting the blessings in my life I DO have and quit worrying about every little pound. Whatever you're comfortable with is just what you should be  and the hell with the perceived image of women these days - there's just too much flaunted in our faces.
No one can live up to those images. and besides - LOTS AND LOTS of what we see is ALTERED !! Besides all the plastic surgery - Lipo and Botox, the images we see are not REAL and hardly any magazines have pictures of women that aren't photoshopped. So if you look good - BE HAPPY WITH IT !
(and ps Jamie (yorkiecrazy)-my good friend - I DID gain back some weight so you can stop worrying !!)  |
AMEN!
LOL....... was not a Novel, Vi....... it was great!!! Sometimes I look at the way some of the younger gals look at eachother nowadays..... it is so sad! ( I even have a friend in her mid 40's who is ALWAYS talking about being heavy and don't like being in a size 7
) Some are always comparing themselves to eachother and.... OMG if they go from a size 0 to a size 2!!
I would LOVE to be a size 7...... but that is OK.. I LOVE being ME!!! Come on PEOPLE....... there is much more to life than being a stick!! It is called Happiness, friendship (based on LOVE.. not how skinny they are). Faith,.......... I could go on.... but I don't want to write a novel (
Vi
)
....... I think I will start a new thread....... Look for it!!
