I don't know if this is the right thread or not but I needed to post it. To date I've lost 11 lbs. and I've been on Atkins almost 4 weeks now. My hubby and I were sitting on our porch just talking while the baby was taking her afternoon nap.
While we were out on the porch there was a long silence, I was thinking (I do that
), anyway after a couple of minutes I noticed my husband was staring at me for a rather long time without saying anything... I turned to him and asked him what's up and he said "I can see your face". I was a little confused at first but then it hit me. He could see the way my face used to look when we first met (I was skinny then). He pointed out things that I have missed so much (my cheeks, how big my eyes really are, my nice chin). I've always loved my face, I know that sounds conceited (sp?) but I've always loved it. I never used to take a bad picture. I used to be the one who would search out people with a camera so I could be in the picture. Up until recently after all my weight gain I hid from the camera. I so want my face back and for my hubby to say something like that made me feel sooooo good. It made me feel so good I cried. I haven't lost a lot but I'm getting there, I'm getting back to my old self and it feels wonderful...
Thanks for listening everyone. This is such a huge thing for me and I wanted to share it.
