I can certainly see beauty in others that I overlook easily in myself. This is a good reminder to look again.Anne M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824355734094187786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31450272.post-49545307387058911052007-05-21T06:39:00.000-04:002007-05-21T06:39:00.000-04:00I don't think you're delusional. I just figure I am going to get to 155 first and maintain that for a while before making any plans to lose more. I figure if it's easy to maintain at that weight and I feel I'd be okay with working a little harder to lose more, I can always make that decision later.jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700614225224691712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31450272.post-28219718594203004462007-05-21T06:34:00.000-04:002007-05-21T06:34:00.000-04:00In AA we say 'what you think of me is none of my business.' Of course it's difficult if you insist on telling me what you think of me. But what's really important is what I think of me. Am I doing my best? Am I giving it a good effort? Am I a good example?<BR/><BR/>Your highest and lowest weights are almost exactly what mine are. I've had such a tough time getting back down to 135, but I still think that's achievable and maintainable.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I'm delusional.Debbihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17727115174070254910noreply@blogger.com
