I think the hardest thing is realizing the changes that have come...in the family picture I am on the far right and weighed in at 329 lbs. You can see that we are a family of good sized people...my image of myself changes with who i am with and what we are doing.
In the full length picture of myself I weigh 257...the face pictures show the same weight changes.
People have told me how different I look and then just the other day a friend saw me on face book and said I looked the same as highschool when I weighed 160 lbs....funny thing is I felt that I looked the same at every weight too and so I wonder if people preceive us as we are or how we think we are?
It is all in preception...why is it so hard to change our self image...or to see ourselves as the world sees us? I love the Zumba classes at Ladies Workout Express because our instructor makes us feel like we are beautiful and when I seen the reflection of us all moving together it is very definitly beautiful...large and small, we are all beautiful.

I have noticed that I notice people in their spirit and don't often see their weight, but that the world tends not to be that way. I am sure your real friends don't notice the weight, but still yearn to encourage you just the same.

i read a couple of your posts - I am going to begin to pray that you would not lose heart, and that God would empower you to move forward in a victorious way ~ Blessings to you, my friend!
