How I’ve changed since being on buddy slim…..
First of all I ‘am so happy that I joined buddyslim! It is so great reading other blogs and being reminded that I’m not the only one! I have developed a much better attitude since being on this site. I have excepted that I am over weight and doing something about it. I am no longer letting my weight consume me!
I started a new diet (lifestyle change) and it seems to be working. I have decreased my sugar intake drastically, eating mostly whole wheat and whole grain foods. I did not realize how much sugar I actually had stored in my body! I read some where that everyone has different body types and you have to figure out what foods (food group) you need to cut down on. For me, I realize it’s sugar and carbs. I do not store them very well! I also have a slow metabolism, so I should exercise more, to burn it off.
I am also excepting the fact that the highschool me is long gone and I need to concentrate on who I am today! I realized that our bodies are all different and we have to learn to love them. I have always had Big Thighs and I was never able to except it, even when I was at my lowest weight (around 105) I had Big thighs! I played sports, exercised and still had Big thighs. I have never told any one this, but I actually use to pray to God and ask him why my thighs had to be like that, “Why can’t I just be normal?” Wow, now I look back and realize that I was actually insulting my maker! That is me, it’s who I am and I finally except it. So my perception of myself has definately changed since being on this site………..thanks to the Lord and all my buddy slim friends!!!!! I am now able to concentrate on things that matter, like being healthy and happy! I hope you all have a wonderful day today, I will say a prayer for all of us!!!!

Loved your blog!! So happy to see you have such a positive genuine attitude. I believe a healthy focused attitude is key to changing our lifestyles
I agree with you…BuddySlim is the BEST!!!
P.S. I met your mother and father…they are absolutely charming!! My husband and I enjoyed our visit with them….our time was way to short!! They bragged about “the girls”…you are blessed to have such wonderful parents!! Big hugs to you!!
Hey girlie… totally agree with you about BS. The support from this site is second to none.
I wonder where your thighs came from! Oh! maybe your loving mother gave them to you, could that be it? I always loved those chunky thighs especially when you used to prance around in all those little rompers, too! cute. So petite in every way except for those adorable thighs. I’m sure they helped you in your child bearing years especially since you decided to have 4 kids again just like mom. Estel face it there is no getting away from me. I guess that is just one more thing that you must deal with. Face it woman! your thighs are your inheritance. I love you very much thighs and all. Mother Dearest. ((((((HUGS!))))) Oh! yes that Jane and Alan are the cream of the crop!
Growing up i always had a bubble butt with scrawny thighs — my older sister has GREAT legs — larger thighs…. was always jealous….
so, guess, i’ll always hate you now for having those same great legs!!!
Funny, you may not like them, but i am jealous!!!
***sigh***
i’ll repeat it several times — “love who I am right now… Love who I am right now, love who i am right now….”
You are so lucky to have such a great Mom to give you that inheritance. You should have seen my mom’s legs and I think I got them, especially those ugly knees, but it’s who we are and what makes us unique. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Hold your head up and be proud.
yeah buddyslim is awesome. and i know how you feel - i will never be the same as i was in high school. i have a body now! but that’s ok…i’ll settle for 10 lbs heavier
Hi, that is great that you are feeling positive, and your post made me think too. Yep I have inherited the ‘curse’ or big hips lol but nothing will change that, it’s just the way I’m designed. I’m really glad I joined Buddyslim too, everyone is so supportive.
I also have been thinking that, I’m overweight now and I will be losing weight. I can either spend that time being miserbale about it, or ignore that fact and try and concentrate on good things. Because neither is going to make it faster, so I may as well enjoy life to the best possible while I am losing weight.
Have a wonderful weekend
