Amen! I’m 32 and just now realizing that I need to accept myself now versus saying that I will when I lose the weight. For me, it is SO much harder to put it into practice though…

Amen sister! I couldn’t have said it better myself! I feel so sorry for people who are losing tons of weight but still don’t think that they will be able to love themselves until they hit a certain number. You rock!

That was very moving. Thank you for putting that out there and helping people. I too, felt like clapping at the end. You are so right and I can relate to that poor “skinny” girl at the wedding. I have the bigger hurdle of dealing with how I “think” people look at me to deal with. That almost makes the exercise and lifestyle changes seem like a simpler thing to do. I sometimes feel almost scared when I get excited about how I am looking or when people make comment. I’m working on that and thanks for reminding me just how important it is.

GREAT post, I’m so glad you shared your experience with this. You are a much nicer girl that I. I would have been pissed if someone said that about “standing by the fat girls”. It’s one thing if I call myself a fat girl, but a former fat girl calling me a fat girl? It’s wrong on so many levels! It’s like her making fun of others in the position she was so miserable and unhappy in and thinking it’s “okay” to do so. She sounds like she’s so unhappy in her life and her actions showed that very thing that night.

I believe you have it right. I often have thought if I got to a certain weight everything would magically be great. It’s just not true as much as I wished it were. There’s so much more to the story than getting the weight off. This is a bigger journey we are traveling. Thanks for that reminder.

That is so sad about that girl at the wedding. You are 100% right, there is so much more to losing weight than just the scale.

Yay, yay, yay Kellie! You’ve got it, girl. We do have to learn to love ourselves. I wrote on my comment over at AFG that I hope I’m going to learn, along this journey, the HOW and the WHY of why I let myself get into this shape. And then I can learn the opposite.

Hi Kellie! I am a first timer to your blog. That stinks that that girl would have said mean things to you, especially after she was overweight!

I just saw on a cover of a magazine that Carny Wilson has gained back like 75 pounds! I agree, love yourself now, and you will be even better when you get to your goal weight.

Good luck in your journey!

If you check out my blog, on the top I have 4 weight loss success stories, 2 people lost 100 pounds, 1 person 150 pounds and 1 person lost 200 pounds! Very inspirational!
