LMJ114's Journal, 30 March 2010

Did you ever see someone and think "oh, poor dear, she must be having a rough day"... and then realize it was YOU in a mirror? I used to do that all the time. It got so that I'd purposefully look in the mirror, almost daring myself, but braced for what I would see. Since losing this weight... I find myself walking by a mirror thinking "phew - there I am!" And, while a bit vain, I also think "I look good". Which, while vaniety is a sin... I think that appreciating how I look will help me maintain it.

Agreed. Nothing sinful about being healthy and appreciating all that you have accomplished. Awesome! Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins, yes? We were all gluttonous in our dietary habits that made us join this site --- you are denouncing that one and trading it in for pride. I'm proud of you too! :)

I sooo understand the mirror thing. The photo thing was even worse because....there you are FOREVER. This healthy lifestyle adjustment was a lot of work. We always feel good when accomplishing a positive goal. When we look in the mirror we are supposed to sing: "I feel good...do do do da da do da....I knew that I would now....do do do da da do da"
