Well I came to realization this morning - That I am

TANNER'S MOM wrote: Happy with myself. I have been fighting this wieght battle for almost a year. I am not at my goal wieght..but I am close..I am 7lbs away. I have been maintaining and doing well. I would love to 135..but 142 is wear I am. I can for the first time in my life say my weight out loud and no lie about. I have let go of my scale addiction..lol I am still exercising and I am still eating right. That is all I can..

But I made Tanner take a pic of me this morning with my camera phone.. I realized..if I have to stay at this weight I can live with that. I am 32 years old..not a exactly old but not a spring chicken.. I have given birth to 3 children..and I have completely changed myself in less than a year. Aug 18, 2005 was when I started my journey!

But I guess I am saying.. I can deal. I have to work on not seeing the old fat girl though.. I still see her in me...and in the mirror..

I think I need an air brush like those one models!

coasterqueen replied: I think you look gorgeous Mel!!! You should be so proud of yourself. Doesn't it feel good to be 'done' and just enjoy life how you are now?

I have 10 more pounds to go, but now that I enjoy working out and fit into all my old clothes I don't have as much of a need to worry about my weight...as long as it doesn't go up.
