This is what 40 lbs looks like

I'm not beating myself up here - just showing that I have gained weight and am kindly and gently working to return to a happy healthy weight.

Here I am March of  2008 - celebrating 2 years of maintaining my weight loss:


And here I am today - just about 40 lbs heavier:


Isn't that amazing?

    I've been there and done that--and more! For some of us, we're never completely free of a regain, no matter how long we have been maintaining. You still look very pretty, so enjoy life's blessings and take care!

      Thank you, Jane. I know how & why I gained back the weight and the biggest reason was my living in denial about it. That's one reason I posted my now picture. I'm striving to be real & honest with myself as I journey to my happy weight again.

    Yep...I'm there right now too, although I don't know how much I've gained, just that I have. I know the hows and whys and am pleased to say that I haven't overeaten emotionally since I figured it all out. But I have been engaging in some magical thinking...thinking that it should have disappeared because I figured it out! LOL

      Laughing with you. I realized that I seemed to think that just moving intentionally for 3 weeks would take it all off too. No - I'm kindly moving and I know my weight will slowly return to a healthy happy place. Any other way and it will come back again - and THAT is not being kind to myself
