Hoo boy you are all describing me! I was diagnosed diabetic last year and lost 42 pounds in 4 months, with LOTS more to go. I was actually feeling good about the way I looked when my DH lost his job. I went into a tail spin and re-gained about 20 pounds and now can't STAND the reflection staring back at me when I catch a glimpse in a passing window, etc. I am determined to get back on track but it's not easy. I am a SAH Nana, babysitting my 3 grandkids. Top this off with the move we're getting ready to make for the great new job and you can understand how I'm ready to blow a cork some days! I know I need to get out and walk the local track with the kids but it has been so hot recently with air quality alerts tossed in. I HATE being so grouchy with my grands and know part of it is my self image problem. I see other grandmothers out with the kiddies and I look so frumpy, yet I'm only 48! No matter what I wear, it looks just awful on me. Thanks SO much for giving us a place to vent Amanda!
DH has been out of town all week and will be home this afternoon before going back to the new location. The rest of us will join him later this month. I think I'll surprise him with some make-up even if he does say he doesn't care if I wear it or not! I think I look better and that lifts my spirits. :p
