I have gained back some weight that I had lost, and when I look at pics that is ALL I see! <BR/>But it's funny, hardly anyone else does..we are our own harshest critics.<BR/>Have fun!Missicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547671118679036352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408408603626898095.post-85068034934528559662008-10-14T12:32:00.000+00:002008-10-14T12:32:00.000+00:00"I've only gained 5 lbs and yet it's taken over my..."I've only gained 5 lbs and yet it's taken over my life." I could write that sentence myself! But TA is so right. It's nothing. And it really is all about how you carry yourself. Please don't let this ruin a great trip!!

The universe is speaking to me. I had to laugh. And share it with you of course. :o)Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681127770002908810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408408603626898095.post-37285604759063930232008-10-13T15:21:00.000+00:002008-10-13T15:21:00.000+00:00I know the numbers are small, and that at least I'...I know the numbers are small, and that at least I'm still fitting in to my clothes, albeit it's a snug fit! I know that nobody has noticed it, and certainly no one has commented on it. I Know that this is not permanent, that as soon as my back is better I will be back out running, I will be training hard, and the weight will come off. These are all the things I know. But it doesn't silence the fears. <BR/><BR/>TA - "You get to choose when you get to tell that nasty voice to shut up." - So true. I really need to be patient right now. Accept that I am limited in my exercise options until my back heals. Accept that I am not at my peak physical condition at the moment BUT at the same time ignoring those nasty voices because judgement is not what I need right now, definitely not from me, my own worst critic.Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681127770002908810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408408603626898095.post-10591228242447145012008-10-13T15:09:00.000+00:002008-10-13T15:09:00.000+00:00It will work out...up and down...no problem.

I me...I also know how you feel.<BR/><BR/>5 pounds is nothing. I mean, I know it doesn't feel like nothing, but I guarantee you people will not be noticing anything LIKE as much as you think they will. I guarantee it. Wear something pretty, beg, borrow, buy or steal something that makes you feel fabulous - I read a recent survey that said men estimated women who smiled as weighing half a stone less. Bonus! Confidence tricks, they really work.<BR/><BR/>And hell, I fluctuate up to 4lbs when I'm on my period. Even I can't tell the difference. <BR/><BR/>And lastly, the chin thing? I have the same problem - my jaw vanishes into my neck, even when I'm emaciated. It will bug you until you stop letting it. Honest. You get to choose when you get to tell that nasty voice to shut up.<BR/><BR/>TA xPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140441387378978556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408408603626898095.post-35442332493315523692008-10-13T14:13:00.000+00:002008-10-13T14:13:00.000+00:00I know how you feel.There's always something that ...I know how you feel.There's always something that I obsess about too.
