Do you think this dress makes me look fat?
Permalink  
 

For years I obsessed about my weight.....even when I was in the 120's range, I thought I was "fat". I'm tall--5'7 (unless I shrunk some since I last got checked), so my weight at that time certainly wasn't overweight for me. My daughter used to tell me that she thought I had some kind of anorexic disorder. (And I realize that my self-image problem didn't help her as she was growing up.)

Now I am not too worried about my weight--well, not as much. As long as I am eating right and feeling alright that's the main thing. I am trying to work on what is on the inside of me, not the outside.

I found this quote when I was looking up quotes on "Serenity". It is by Ella McPherson, the beautiful model. It is quite refreshing to hear someone who for years had to be so concerned about being "perfect" say something like this:

"But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter."
Elle Macpherson

LOLOLOLOL! I don't ask that question anymore. If my butt looks like it is going to rip out the backside the first time I bend over, I know I'm too big for it. If it has vertical stripes, I know I look like a highway in it. And if it has large floral designs, I know I am going to look like "Monet's Garden" in it.

I love the expressions too, Pappy!
