I got happy. Really. I got out of a bad relationship and started to see myself as the awesome woman I am, rather than the chubby body I let myself become. It's amazing how loving yourself results in way less Oreo cravings. ;-) How did I do it? I got happy. Really.

This is similar to a post I did on my secret blog (yes I do have one LOL) I'll repost it today on Bossy. I spend most of my time on DJ though LOL. What I loved the most is that you loved your body with the extra weight. That's so important. I was a 6 when I met Scribe and although I havent had a baby yet...I'm a 12 now...and happy. that's what counts... Wow.

I don't know. Ordinarily I would jump at that (being a big planner of "events") but now I am trying to cut through the production of documenting, tracking, yada yada and just doing! I also get so bogged down in the planning of the event that the goal get lost on me and then if one day i don't post on the "weight loss" blog, I'll feel like a failure and feel bad for letting everyone down and then quietly duck out. @ Muslim 007 - A weight loss blog?

Body image is something that I can't get right...it's either one extreme or the other. I definitely need to be realistic and still be positive. I was telling Sharon that I know that 75% of my struggle with this is mental and it has been the hardest hurdle to get over. @ Safiyyah - Yes, I loved Weight Watchers. My issue is that if a fall short more than a few times, I get discouraged and quit...basically using the excuse that I am wasting money and must not be truly ready or serious about losing the weight. @ Umm Layth - Yes, I would love to have a support system and partner in this. I will be in touch:) @ Solace - I pray that you reach your goal. My problem with "dieting" is that I make it into this whole event and production and then get deflated after I fall short a few times. I feel like I should just do it naturally without all the fanfare. I haven't even factored in the all important exercise! @ Melissa - Thanks soooooo much for your kind words and support…especially the sunshine-y words:) How did you lose 50 lbs?

My dd is 4 years old and I still have not lost the weight I put on during my pregnancy. I just started dieting again this past monday. Hopefully this time I will stick to it!!!

I too had the desire not to be that Mom and for most of Ryan's childhood I managed to avoid that stigma. However, I too would love being a size 10 or 12 again right now and though not perfect, I am currently trying to get back on track. The personal email address is sharon2172@aol.com and please feel free to hit me there if you'd like someone to go through this process with you on a personal note without being judgemental or harsh. In any event, I wish you peace as it relates to your body image whatever the state of your actual body ;) I am definitely here if you would like to exchange daily personal emails chronicling what you have done to move towards the goal of not being the fat Mom.

You have good friends and we all hope you're good to yourself during this time when you want to shed some pounds. It's so easy to grow to dislike your body, which is a shame because it's a pretty sacred thing, you know? However anyone believes our being is created it's always miraculous and sacred. I hope you're honoring your miracle body today because it's part of you and you're amazing whatever the scale says. Just wanted to tell you that. It's Monday and it's grey here in Brooklyn, my mom says it wasn't the prettiest day in DC, so some virtual sunshine-y words might be right up your alley.

It appears to be a sensible way to change eating habits. Be kind and patient with yourself, sis. It will happen. The important thing is to lose it in a healthy way so you don't end up regaining it! I'm working on taking off 50 lbs :( As Salaamu Alaikum Sis:
