Hello my FS buddies!!! Today is the start of a brand new week and nothing can be better!

I get a lot of comments on my profile picture...

And, I wanted to share with everyone why I choose that picture.

I realized, one day, that when I do not celebrate myself, no matter what size I am, I regress and go back to my poor eating habits and gain weight. I wrestle with my self-esteem issues and I eat to make myself "feel better". I know you are thinking, "Silly girl" but I am not asking for a pity party but I need to come clean.

"Hello, my name is Mary and I have an eating addiction."

I want to be healthy and I want go down several sizes but I also want to be happy with how I was made. I know that I will not have a six-pack. Personally, I don't want that. I like the curve of my belly, women are supposed to have one, just not as big as it is now, lol. I like the shape of my hips but would prefer they fit in smaller pants and I dig my legs and would like to show them off again.

So here is to a healthy lifestyle and to the love of our bodies! I am honoring my self by accomplishing my goals and loving myself for accepting my limitations. As I wrote to someone last week... "Don't get me wrong making my goal weight will make be much happier but it has more to do with a fear of becoming 400 pounds then not being a size 6."

I have said this many times before but... Thank God for my friends on FS and have a happy diet!

It may seem cheesy, but Whitney Houston sang it best with "Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all." Bravo for your healthy attitude!

Very wise words, Mary. I'm going to take them to heart because I haven't been happy with myself for a long time and maybe it's time to change that!

I love your journal- or maybe i just love mary...you are always such an encouragement.I'm trying really hard to be positive thinking about myself and my weight loss process- I want to be mentally healthy as much as physically healthy- you need both and it's great to have you as an encourager. thanks
