It took me several years to realize how big I was getting. I mean, I <i>knew</i> I was physically gaining weight, but I just kept thinking, "I can't see any difference," or "I don't think anyone can tell... they would say something if they could, right?" I think it can be difficult either way (losing or gaining). I notice small changes, but it doesn't seem as dramatic to me as others want me to believe. Don't get me wrong... I definitely <i>feel</i> better, but I struggle to see it on the outside. I guess I'll get there, eventually - at least, I hope! <br /><br />Thank you for your very sweet words... even if I don't yet see it. :O)G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15494936724927257191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210248416638945835.post-87289811422783962762012-09-17T18:14:46.396-06:002012-09-17T18:14:46.396-06:00Hello, Gorgeous!
Tt takes a lot of effort and att...Hello, Gorgeous!<br /><br />Tt takes a lot of effort and attention to make significant life changes and we all desperately want to see that those changes make a difference. I was doing the exact same thing when I was on Jenny Craig a couple of years ago: poring over the mirror, searching for changes. No matter how much Scott would tell me my body was changing, I couldn't see it. I think that I have some body dysmorphia. I mean, I didn't notice how large I was getting in the first place. <br /><br />Getting back to you... the differences between the Then and Now photos is rather striking. Your entire face is slimmer and your jaw line is sharper. You still have pinchable cheeks, but you've also got cheek bones. That's why your glasses look larger. (You've got lovely bone structure, btw.) The area at the base of your neck also looks firmer. You've got a lot of changes there. I hope you're able to see them before too much longer.Melanie Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540747770586922326noreply@blogger.com
