HEALTHY THINKING THURSDAY

I'm joining Laura at Love At Home - and Kim at Flowers & Art - for Healthy Thinking Thursday. Kim, I'm so happy to see you back. ((hugs))

So my question to all of you is this:

Do you have a vision?

What do I mean?

A vision of what you will look like once you have been released from the weight you have struggled with?

The reason I am asking is because in my 'mind's eye', I have.

When I was 250 lbs., I was known to say, "I'm a skinny person crying inside a fat body. Wanting to be released."

I have had this 'vision' of what my body would look like when I was released from the weight that was hanging on.

There have been times when I have looked at myself and have 'seen' that vision almost completely.

It was really wild to be honest with you.

To see that vision right before my eyes.

When I saw this picture above, that vision came to my mind again.

What my body would look like once I was released from any weight that did not belong on this body.

My 'skinny' jeans on.

I haven't worn them for a few months.

Haven't been 'feeling' that skinny.

When I put them on the other day, I didn't need to 'work it' (if you know what I mean),lol.

They were easy to put on.

It felt good!


So again I ask, do you have a vision of yourself?

Wow, you look FANTASTIC and SKINNY!!! Is this the vision of yourself you had or did you see yourself thinner? Love ya!

Kim said...

I echo Paula- you look fab girl! I do have a vision- in fact I was once there, but drama and hard times in life sent me back to eating too much, so now I have to do it all again. So frustrating- but also a lesson to be learned that food is not my answer for problems and not a way to hide. Why can't I remember that when the food is going into my mouth? Great post Angela!

Angela you are tiny and look so amazing in your skinny jeans! You go girl! You are beautiful inside and out.

I am struggling with my self image right now after losing 47 pounds. I know that is great but I still need to drop one more size and it's starting to get to me. Sigh. I'm trying to accept it by starting to take photos again buying new clothes and just plain moving on with it. Geesh, it's not the worst thing in the world if I stayed this size is it?

I'll be posting on my 8 month healthy life update on my next post. ~Melissa :)
