those eyes are mesmerising, beautiful!
That was a great news story. It just makes sense...when you are comfortable with yourself and you love yourself...then you will be good to yourself. I have done the yo yo dieting, losing 100 pounds and now I've gained back 50 of it...but in the last few months I realised that...to be happy, I need to do the things I REALLY want...and weight be damned I'm going to do them...I am also eating healthier than I ever have been, because I don't deny myself anything if I really want it, and guess what? I am losing weight..because I'm NOT on a diet!
At 35, I am just starting to get to that point. I am my own worst enemy when I should be my own best friend. I'm getting too old to care what people think of me anymore.
The flower adds the perfect touch!
I always feel a little pang when I see things like "No Fat Chicks" on a t-shirt or a bumper, whatever...like, I almost feel apologetic for even existing, like I'm so sorry I'm fat, I won't bother you! I realise we all have our preferences...I have a weak spot for nerdy types, however it bothers me when anyone rules out another person based solely on appearance...appearances are dynamic..they're always changing. Even fetishists bug me.. guys who ONLY like big girls...to me it's the same thing as guys who only like skinny girls..I'm just open to everyone, I don't give a fig how fat or skinny you are. Anyways, I suppose I should have a bumper sticker that says "No shallow assholes!"
I wish I could rock high heels...I have a great pair of red patent high heels that I bought about a year ago...and once every couple months I slip them on...but my feet KILL me wearing any type of high heel...do most large ladies have that problem or maybe it's just my dumb feet. Regardness..I love these shoes..especially the yellow ones.
Keep in mind also that those stinky assholes will pick on anyone's "weakness"...I was at a drive-thru banking machine and I was making two transactions..late at night.. as we were pulling away..the driver behind us yelled out "thanks for taking your time, you bald four-eyed freak!" Like what the....?! So it's not just cause we're fat we get insulted..it's just them being dicks..although it can still hurt nonetheless.
Yeah, I was rather taken aback at the self loathing that Oprah projected on herself after her weight gain. OK, so she's human, and has a rather stressful or demanding lifestyle. This came after the whole "love yourself in the here and now, don't dwell on the past" lessons from "the power of now" by eckhart tolle that she was touting as world changing. So that's why I was like wtf when she did that. Unfortunately we're told that we can't be successful, sexy, beautiful, charming, talented, and man/woman worthy if we're fat. I still see ads in magazines for diet products that say "I lost 75 pounds and now I'm successful!" or "I lost half my body weight and now I have a man!". It makes me angry. I think Oprah has done a lot of good and I feel bad that she has to hate herself for gaining a few pounds. Stop apologizing for being human!
i love the "before" expression! too funny! I tried on some of those footless tights with the high waist thingie and it was just too long for me in the waist and too awkward, the power panties might work better though.
