Thanks for the interesting read ladybug

Really good article, thanks for sharing. I have this same issue with my weight, I'm still stuck at my starting weight in my head when I think of the number but I'm really 24 pounds less than that.

Wow great article!! I saved it to remind myself to work on my body image as i lose weight. Weight in general is a very mental thing for me and sometimes my perceptions are way out there... Thanks for posting this

Very good article. I am keenly aware that sagging skin will not disappear when I lose the weight, nor will my varicose veins. I ahve to keep a realistic image of what I will look like. I will not be a model, but I will feel better and have better health. And hey, I will be able to cover the veins and sags under smaller more stylish clothing.

wow...that was a great read. These two really hit me:

"Body image is a lot harder to change than the actual physical body is," Daniels says.

People who've gained and lost and gained again may be less likely to embrace a new image that they worry won't last.

Very interesting! Thanks ladybug

I can relate to the article. I'm working on loving the new me =]
