Girl....you shine. The difference is not only in your weight, but how you seem to glow from the inside.

That is excellent. I'm in the midst of losing weight and it's a battle. I'm over the 20 lb mark and gaining toward the 25 goal. Every pound is work and learning to change my life has been the difficult part. Good for you! You did it!

This obsessing with body image in many causes the problem...have you ever seen true beauty glow from inside...meet a person that radiated incredible gravity...there's the old saying of the balance of mind and body and it's true. I've seen people grunt and grown against gravity lifting weights or dance and hop around to burn calories or peddle mindlessly on a stationary vehicle and I also seen the incredible tone and beauty radiate from women who have dedicated themselves to things like yoga...just think about all those people that hate working out, if they do, why do it...by the way congratulations

Its called body dysmorphic disorder. Where no matter what results you have acheived you still struggle with that image of what you may or may not have looked like. The most common people who suffer from this are the one's with eating disorders. I am so proud of you and what you've accomplished. You've managed to lose weight, and do it in such a healthy way! Truly you're an inspiration for all women. You look amazing, no matter what your dress size, your bank account balance or the man that may or may not be warming your bed. You always need to remember this. You simply rock and if you are your own cheerleader, well everyone will see what you see. Love yourself and be exactly who you are, because you're perfect just as you are... At least in my humble opinion.

you look awesome if you ask me...

Do you watch Sex and the City?
In one episode Carrie asked why we can't see what our friends see in ourselves... I think we are all our own worst enemies - in the body image area. I wish I knew how to cure it!

P.S. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!!!

WOW! That looks like two different people. You should be VERY proud of yourself. You go, girl!!!
