A Working Mom's Joy: Body Image

Hi there!!!

My name is Sandy, Sandra, Lanie, hey you… I answer to all of these. I am 33 years old, and I live in Ohio. I am married to a wonderful Christian man, who is my best friend. Chris and I have been married for 4 yrs and are blessed with 3 beautiful children. We also have one angel in heaven in April 17, 2006.

God has blessed me more than I could ever have imagined. Jesus is my Lord and Savior, and I pray that my life glorifies Him in all things and that others may see Him through me. He is with me in all obstacles, challenges, blessings, endeavors, and anything else I could dream up. My biggest challenge ahead of me is getting healthy for not only myself but for my family.

I pray blessings over us working moms both in the home and out. May the Lord guide us towards being what he had called us to be. May Proverbs 31 be planted in our hearts so we can become the wives, mothers and women that we are called to be. Living healthy lives that the Lord can work through,
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Body Image

I seem to be having issues lately in seeing my self thinner. To me, a 1x looks the same as a 4x when I look in the mirror. I pasted this on facebook a couple of days agao, a good suggestion was to compare photos. Here are a some to put things in perspective for me I guess.

My heaviest @ 324

Me @ 280- 260

Me @ 250-230

Me @ 220

I just needed to see this!

Health, is an issue to, as love flows freely between healthy bodies. Congradulation on the improvement of love and life.; June 22, 2011 2:42 PM
