Turn That Frown Upside Down – #NSNation Update Week 37 #samp

I am going to severely honest here — I think I've always had some form of low self esteem. If you've ever met me in person, you have have a hard time believing that. I am one of those people can talk to anyone. I can get up and give speeches. Heck, when I was thin in high school, I thought I was fat.

According to the BMI, I still fall into the “overweight” category. I was in the “obese” category when I started. When everyone asks me if I feel different, I always answer no. I really don't. However, that is a little lie. Something I did notice when I started losing weight, is that I quit looking down when I walk. Now, I didn't realize I was doing till I stopped, and I don't even know why I did that.

I am still trying to see the body changes. You all see what a difference I've made. I still see all the places I still need to lose weight. I'm slowly trying to change my thinking on that.

I still can't believe that people think I am inspirational. I don't feel like I've done anything special. Heck, if anything, I am example of what not watching what you eat for 10 years will do to you.

However, there are things I am going to happy about – hence the title of this post. Those 7 bags of clothes I am getting rid off (I have a big long discussion with people on Facebook about this. I had to decide if I was going to get rid of 7 bags of clothes that I no longer fit into. I started questioning keeping them or getting rid of them) is one of the things. I can walk into stores and actually buy clothes. I don't have to go to speciality stores anymore is another. I guess I have to learn to not be so hard on myself!

This week ended up a zero pound weight loss. However, I am not letting that get me down. That 2.4 lb weight loss last week I think makes up for that. Plus, I took some measurements and compared them to what I was at in August. I saw several inches lost in my hip (which is one of my problem areas) and an inch off my arms.

THIS WEEKS WEIGHT LOSS: 0 lbs
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 64.4 lbs

    Yes, considering you lost that much last week, I think it was probably still a good week for you. Also, I'm glad you are able to finally change the way you see yourself now. You have come so far and you look fabulous. 🙂

    You know, Lisa it took a long time to get to the weight you were at. It's going to take a while to feel comfortable in your new weight. If you don't though and you're not feeling happy about the weight loss, maybe a visit to a counselor would help. Wishing you the best, my friend.

    I agree with Connie, the weight didn't come on over night so you might not feel different but I think you do. I think you feel great and you are proud of yourself. Let yourself be happy!

    You are doing great! It takes time and we are our own worst critic. Keep up the good work.
