Jornal de Shake Those Pounds, 05 jun 21

I'm the same height as you, so I totally understand the feeling... But you've accomplished so much and you should be proud! 

I am 66 and I can tell you that when I was younger I thought I looked fat but I really looked pretty darned good. What I wouldn’t give to be back there enjoying and living my life instead of wasting it away wishing I looked better!! 

Your BMI is on the slightly overweight but you're so close to goal you should be proud of your accomplishment. Consider yourself a work in progress and accept who you are. 

There are always people with more and people with less: weight, height, money, cars, house, recreation equipment, intelligence, education, husband, family, emotional stability, kindness from family, other possessions and abilities, it just goes on and on. I like that statement: "Comparison is the thief of joy." I hadn't heard it, but know it is true. Enjoy the body you have now because other than exercise, as you get older it usually deteriorates or any of us can have accidents and lose ability or have illness. I was 5' 3 3/4" (almost 5'4") all my adult life. Now I have shrunk to 5' 1/2": 3" gone. I was up to a size 12 at the first of the year and even when I go down to 104 like I did a year ago when I am naked I don't look better, I just look worse. Because of a bad back I can barely exercise. At 118 my husband told me I am fat. But I, and you, and everyone else needs to count our blessings for what we do have. And we need to be careful not to hurt the feelings of others. How very fortunate we are to live in America, and if we have food to eat and a roof over our head, we are rich. God bless you, He loves you so much. I am very happy for you that you are a tall beauty. These posts are wonderful.  

Don't compare yourself to anyone. Be very proud of what you have accomplished. Do your in-laws compliment your weight loss? Are they supportive? I hope so. I just want to say, You are doing great and keep it up!💜👍👏👏👏👏 

Wow, DP Couldn’t have said it better! Right on!!👍👏👏 I wear a size 10 shoe too, I just put it off to I will still be standing when everyone else falls during an earthquake. I am also a size 10-9,(or was) when I modeled. So that was considered the perfect size. My in-laws were cruel as soon as I started dating my hubby. I think because I am tall, I modeled and was asked out by layers and doctors, yet his parents made me feel like crap. I often went home crying!🥴😢 Get this THEY were overweight, yet had the nerve to make digs at me, maybe because I wasn’t Cuban. Yet, as years went by things got a bit better. As hurtful they could be, I learned to ignore it, and I do honestly miss them. I can only say in-laws can be cruel and that is why the world is full of mother-in-law jokes since the beginning of time! Teach yourself to IGNORE it and know they are the ones being fools! Life is so short, don’t get hurt over ignorant people. Blessings STPs, and know you’re feeling great about yourself and that’s all you need.👍🌺🌸🌼 

Oh I am 5’10 as well. Thank you Father! 👍👏👏👏👏🌺❤️ 

I just want to clarify... My MIL is very kind and always tells me I'm beautiful. She just was shocked to know I wore a size 10 shoe. 😆 But she's never made me feel fat or too tall.  

Thanks for all the love and support. I think I need to clarify that there is nothing negative coming from my family. I know it’s all in my head. I was on my first dr ordered food restriction at 8 yo. There’s a lot mentally to overcome even after you change the physical.  

you are def NOT the only one. I feel that way when I take my son to the pool. being around all those tiny women in bikinis.😕
