erika, love the pics and the dress and shoes, and i especially heart that WE are your favorite ladies to shop with!
finzup, very good advice overall ... we are all so quick to be negative about ourselves and put ourselves down! small (daily) positive thoughts are key in fixing our self-esteem and learning to love ourselves. (i'm 37 too and have been all over the map weight-wise as well). the most important thing is to love yourself enough to consider yourself WORTH getting healthier! we all DESERVE to be happy and if we can't make ourselves see that then i guess we need to come to this thread and have the girls yell it at us, lol!
WE DESERVE HEALTH AND HAPPINESS, LADIES! WE ARE WORTHWHILE!!!
