Just a blog
Hey buddies.
rn
I was just looking back at some old pics of me and feeling sad for that girl I once was. I don’t really have too many pictures of me from the past 8 years or so. I hated to have my picture taken as I am sure we all have been that way.

I can just see the pain in my eyes and the sadness. I was so depressed all the time. It makes me sad to know I wasted so much time hating myself and feeling hopeless and lonely.

That girl is no more! Yes, I still have those days but I will never again waste anymore time being depressed about the way I look or hating myself. Those days are gone. I never want to go back there again. Food is not worth those hopeless feelings. NO WAY! I think I really have this new lifestyle down! I know that I can continue on this way and it makes me feel great! I love being happy about things now…..I wouldn’t say this all has just come from weightloss. However, it is all sort of connected. When I take care of my body, that in turn takes care of my mind and so on….

These days, I feel so good and just can’t imagine ever not living this way. I am so glad I found buddyslim back in February. You all have helped me out so much and I can never say thank you enough for all the support I have gotten here. My buddies have really helped to keep me going and caused me to never want to quit.

I hope you all have a great day!

What a great blog!!!! You SHOULD be proud of yourself! You’ve come a long way down a hard path. You’re WORTH IT!!!
Tasha that was a great blog. I have looked at your pictures before. You are a beautiful person!! Youre pictures are great. And you are right when we take care of our bodies it does so much for us mentally! Keep up the great work!!
GFY, Tasha! I had that sort of realization myself a week or so ago. It’s amazing how hopeless we thought it all was and wasted that part of our lives because we thought we could never do it! Look how far you’ve come! You are a more healthy you! I really feel like I can go all the way this time too as long as I take care of myself! Depression is tough…I fought it myself, but I’m glad I’m not fighting it any more…this is a battle that I can win as long as I make good choices and keep my best interests top priority!
Glad you’re coming from behind the camera! I’m still there, but force myself in front of it occasionally to be fair to my kids. No child should have to look back on their childhood and wonder why Mom was never in the pictures. Now your kids won’t have to wonder that. Way to go!
I agree, Tasha, we wasted too much time being unhappy, have spent alot of time like that myself. I’m determined to not waste another second!!!
I am so happy for you. I know exactly how that feels, it’s horrible to look at my old pics and see how much I have lost the old me. Sometimes I feel like I will never be the same way again. Being here and seeing everyone’s weight tickers and how much they’ve lost helps me mentally and motivates me. You are all great buddies.
we love you Tasha. Your blogs inspire me that one day I will break free and be able to enjoy life for once.
Aww, you are always such an inspirations to me. You keep up the hard work and I am glad you enjoy your new lifestyle.
I am so happy for you Tasha…Losing weight is also connected to losing alot of mental baggage as well! I swear a healthy body leads to a healthier mind! I’m the same as you, once I feel better about my outside, the inside follows suit. Proud of you girl!
I’m so glad you have recognized that being disatisfied with ourselves is so not worth it. I’m happy for you that you have found this better place.
What a beautiful and inspiring blog! I am glad you have grown on this journey and you have learn to love and accept the wonderful person you are! I am very happy to read this blog. If I had more thumbs up to give you, I would!
Great Blog Tasha. You have done so well!!
Hi Tasha–Just now saw this blog. You have done such a great job. I know exactly how you felt about the camera. There are practically no pictures of me from the past 6-7 years as I did everything I could to avoid the camera. I still do for the most part. Soon I, too, hope to be free from these feelings of not being worthy. You are a great inspiration and a fantastic teammate! You go girl!
Well, Miss Tasha, I am incredibly late to this blog, and I do so apologize, as it was a GREAT one…
I sooooo know what you mean…
I dont recognize myself in my fat pics at ALL. I feel sooo far removed from that girl. And just like you, even on my bad days, I dont fret as much, because my whole lifestyle has changed. My outlook has changed. I have changed…
Even on the months I struggle, I honestly dont sweat it, because I know I will NEVER be her again…
That sadness…Yep. My girl had that too…And I am soooo sad that she wasted sooo many years of her life…
GREAT blog Tasha. You have done so very well!!!
Hi Tasha! I just have to congratulate you again on your weight loss… you are doing so well, and I am so proud of you! Your blog is truly inspiring…and you are so right… food isn’t worth those hopeless feelings… and you do seem like you have this new lifestyle down… I am so happy for you!
