One way that I have tried to look at it is that before I just wasn’t taking care of myself and that showed up as being overweight. If I couldn’t even look at myself why would anyone else? Today I take very good care of myself and I hope that’s what people are reacting to. I don’t think it’s as simple as the only thing that changed was your weight. Also, you look amazin!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-67003830004613916482018-08-11T22:30:17.907-05:002018-08-11T22:30:17.907-05:00Looking good!

I know I'd sure love me much more if I could drop 50 lbs. I'm not happy with this extra weight, & I'd be much happier if I'd get off my butt like you & get moving!

Noted the return of the Male gaze as my weight dropped (all in I shed 80lbs of fat and then put some muscle on so I'm down net 60 lbs but still smaller than I was when I was down 80lbs...if that makes sense)<br /><br />Wrestled with the same...but I'm still me angst, been ashamed that i let myself weight nearly 230lbs, ever. Been angry that i wasn't valued (heard, appreciated, desired) at 227 the way I am at 167. <br /><br />But here's the thing i had to admit. I didn't hear, value or appreciate me at 227 the same way I do at 167. <br /><br />And I didn't hear, value or appreciate men who were 60+lbs overweight (or shorter than 6' the same way I heard, valued or appreciated more fit men who were 6'+<br /><br />Because, I knew they didn't value themselves. The same way I was literally broadcasting to the seeing world, that I didn't value myself.<br /><br />I didn't value myself enough to eat nutritious food, move and challenge my body, devote time to adequate skin and hair care, be out in the world doing interesting things like hiking, mud runs or even sky diving. <br /><br />Our overall fitness and nutrition levels tell the world just how much we care about ourselves. So no, I'm not the same person I was 60 or 80 lbs ago. <br /><br />I was a good person 60 or 80 pounds and 4 years ago. But I was a person who myself last. And I'm better than that these days.<br /><br />Good luck in your journey!

I’m going to walk like there’s no tomorrow and not think of my kids, my husband, my grandkids or my boss. Just me. I hope that doesn’t sound selfish.

Anything is possible and anything can happen where the EX and his new wife have now been together for 5 years and there are no possibilities for them, they made their choice a long time ago. You are doing great and I too find making a effort to be healthy helps on so many levels. So smile, make eye contact, and be a little extra kind, anything is possible :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-86180612355129216412018-07-30T06:04:03.148-05:002018-07-30T06:04:03.148-05:00Loved the Today Show video.

Still, it’s good to know that strangers are seeing it too. That gives me hope that maybe someday someone will see through my invisibility cloak as well.
