Good for you for deciding to get in the pool.<br /><br />I tried on my bathing suit and even though it is a little snug I plan on wearing it as soon as the pool temp is warm enough! This is the year to get back in the water.<br /><br />I am so glad your knees are doing better. My mom had a knee replacement done in February and it has given her back her mobility and she is so happy.<br /><br />The great thing about the blog sphere is that we know that many people share our story.

Each and every one of us are struggling with this, and we all have good days and bad days.

But my weight loss has been soooo slow--that I'm actually HAPPY to ahve lost at all! No, dear Weight Loss Warrior, you are definitely NOT alone. <br /><br />Weight loss is a tough road--we're bound to be building all kinds of character muscles. I'm sticking with that. chuckle.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-67525598750615334142010-06-01T12:25:26.913-07:002010-06-01T12:25:26.913-07:00You are always more than a no-goodnikYou are always more than a no-goodnikJourneyBeyondSurvivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701594704460907630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-6542848630612289252010-06-01T11:34:34.001-07:002010-06-01T11:34:34.001-07:00I think that most of the whole self-hating stuff i...I think that most of the whole self-hating stuff is nasty habit that we've picked up and refined over time. And because it's a habit, we can break it. I am working on rewiring and reprogramming myself. When I start to play that "tape", I force myself to think of good things about me just to stop the spiral. It certainly has helped.<br /><br />Good luck with your vows and challenges.
