Home, Sweet, Home

Well,
I'm home. It was a nice, quick get away. I won some battles, I lost some battles...I did great on most meals, but I did eat one FRIED shrimp meal and one ice cream cone. I walked a lot though. Maybe, it won't hurt me too bad! I tried not to be too miserable next to my gorgeous sister on the beach!

Have I mentioned that I have two younger, beautiful, thin sisters? One of them is tall, model beautiful, and very thin, with long flowing dark hair....the other is also thin and looks a lot like me...just the improved version--just downright pretty and sweet! I know I sound like I'm fishing for compliments out of comparison to my sisters. I'm not. We are all best friends, all have unique gifts, and we are all blessed. I'm not jealous of them at all (well, maybe a little of their thighs). But I love them dearly!

I definitely suffer from some rare disorder of comparing myself to every woman that walks by me. I realized this on the beach. I don't do it in a mean way. It is more in a way..."Am I measuring up?" I would think, I want hair like her, I want a tummy like her, I want thighs like her.... I need help, I know. (I saw a super skinny/toned woman who had just had twins come out with her stroller on the beach....I was thinking...WHAT?????) I'm working on my confidence. I am working on ME, every aspect of me. Insecurity eats away at me at times. (I know it's not pretty!)

I wanted to answer some questions that were posted about my last post.

1. My mother in law is very petite. She is only 5'2" ish and maybe 100 pounds give or take 5 depending on the day. She loves to tell everyone her weight.

2. My husband does stand up to her frequently. I'm not sure if she doesn't hear him, believe him, or care. But, he's a good guy. I am very blessed to have him. He would tell you the same about me. We know God has taken care of us. He is cancer survivor, and we know all about teamwork. He's totally on my team and always has my back. No worries there. Thanks for your concern though.


I really missed reading about all of you!
I'm totally back on the plan...til Sunday when we leave for another trip! :)
