I'm Not Fat!!!

I did that at Christmas. I had lost 25 pounds by then and I was like who is that woman in the pictures? Oh, thats me! I am lost 10 more pounds since then. I am still fat, but I am getting closer to not being so.

Hey singlemommy! I think you look terrific girlfriend! You really do look great in that picture! You don't look fat to me! Whatever you did or are doing it sure is working! That is a really nice picture of you and your son! Stop being so hard on yourself! You are a nice looking woman and don't you forget it! Now let's see some pictures of this phantom daughter! She never gets a chance to be in the pictures! How about mommy taking a nice picture of her for a change! lol

Losing 31 pounds is a wonderful achievement. Keep up the good work.

The way you've been talking, I thought you must look pretty chunky but man, that pic is terrific! You're NOT fat! I don't think you would've looked fat before you lost weight from what I see. Your avatar looks overweight, though, get rid of her cos that is definitely not you! Use that picture your daughter took, it's very flattering!

Well you look good girlfriend..keep doing what your doing, its working. Yeah, I've had a problem with weight all my life too, and the past year I've been exercising and trying to watch what I eat, I've lost some weight too, and I'm just now seeing it, at first I'd look in the mirror and I couldn't see anything, my husband would always tell me he could tell. My mom took a picture of me one day, and I hate pictures, I looked at it, and I thought hey, I have lost weight, I don't look as big as I think I do, it does make you feel good.

I came across old photos of myself just the other day as I was cleaning out a cupboard; they were taken when I was younger and very insecure about my looks. At the time when I saw the pictures I thought I was huge and ugly. Looking at them now I can see how wrong I was. It is such a shame I wasted all that time back then feeling awful and there really was no need because I looked fine. It goes to show that your state of mind has a lot to do with how you view yourself. Congratulations on your weight loss, 31 pounds is a fantastic effort, good on you, I'm sure you are looking terrific! Well done!

Good for you, singlemommy. You look great. Keep up the good work. It is so nice to have encouragement like this picture once in a while. Yes, I have had pictures have affects on me both positive and negative in just this way. Do you feel great too? I hope so.

I think it's great that you are losing weight. It's so hard to do! With all the temptations out there I am trying to lose weight too and I am not doing it so I can be super skinny and finally fit into those jeans that I use to wear when I was 16! I'm doing it because I am thinking of my health. Plus it's more comfortable to be skinnier my biggest problem is my stomach that's where most of my fat is, I am just so darn tired of looking at it! LOL. One day it will be gone. Good luck to you keep up the good work.

Hi singlemommy, Well you look just great, very nice and you done so well too, but don't over do things, you look just lovely. Tamara

You lost 31 pounds, I think that is really good. Can I ask you how you did it because I am trying to lose some weight myself and I am having a hard time doing so.

Well done you how good is that,all that hard work has paid off good for you.xx

Oh yes, last December I deliberately gained 5 pounds and I was really in panic since I am very petite. So I started doing body stretching and walking, but then it did not pay off, and I am very depressed right now because every time I see my body in the mirror I am really fat. How I wish all my efforts right now to lose weight will be fruitful at last.

Woo hoo, Singlemommy! You look wonderful! Congratulations on the weightloss! I think I have had both ends, one where I looked at a picture of myself and realized I didn't look as bad as I thought and the other end where I didn't think I looked too bad but then saw a picture and thought I looked horrible and fatter than I thought. I think the looking fatter than I thought has happened to me a bit more though. Keep it up, you look great!

You look great!!! :-) And kudos to you for losing the weight! I've realized this about myself but it's always too late once I do. Like lately I've been looking at pictures from 2 summers ago - I realize that I looked so much better than I do now. But back then I know I didn't realize it.

Congratulation !! I have been trying to lose some weight myself. I am 110 lbs right now. I want to be 100. But I can't even lose 10 lbs. Everyone said it is easy, but for me it's not. Do you have any recommendation on what food to eat? Or maybe I should just go all vegetarian? hehehe...

w[i]ow....that's cool, imagine 31 pounds, wow...congrats! This time for me, I am gaining weight and I will need to do something for this or else, it will add and add more which is not good...I do know how to start! Maybe walking?[/i]

you are exactly right,,,you are NOT fat. great job in the weight loss. I can see it in your picsYOU'LL have to excuse my typing here...on my daughters laptop and it is foreign to me. as a woman...I think we ALL worry about our looks. I know that when I was younger, I never felt that i measured up to the prettier girls etc. I was told that i was pretty baut it really didn;t matter as i never "felt" it. now I'm old and i come across pics from back in the day and...why in heck couldn;t I see it. It is like looking at one of my daghter's. Now I'm dealing with my daughters,,,all of them are just beautiful but they all think they are not,,,,hair is too thin,.,,they are too fat...t00 thin...anything but what they are or so they think. we never see ourselves as others do and we are our own very worst critics i think.

Yes, I have and it is a really great feeling so you keep up the good work,we are all proud of what you are doing for yourself.You have a good looking son as well.Have a great night.

Good for you! I have lost about 25 pounds myself. Feels good doesn't it? I having poctures taken though. Makes me want to ralph! Whatever you are doing is working well for you. Keep it up! Not all men like skinny girls. Some like the voluptuos cuties as well. I am glad you have had this moment of clarity and it will probably see you through the next 30+ pounds as well.

Well I can't say that because I gained 30 some odd pounds, but I just wanted to tell you - you look wonderful. It's always good to hear/see a person that just "feels" good about themselves. Kudos to you.
