I am so glad I am not the only one that hates her own pictures. They are the devil! And I don't know that I feel the need to "impress" I just didn't want to look like my normal, stained, t-shirt wearing self. I just want to look nice for me. kwim? Hows the dating going? I met my DH online but not at a dating service. It was just a chat room. good luck with that. I'm sure you will find someone great. aw, thanks Julie!

But I do agree with the others that you do need to add some color and then it will be perfect! I HATE HATE HATE taking pictures of myself because when I see them I'm like, "Who in the hell is that fat chick???" I'm divorced mom of two and I recently put an ad on Yahoo Personals and I only put a picture of my FACE. Just my FACE! I don't want them running for the doors before they can actually meet me! But seriously, you CAN blame your self-doubt on your pregnancy. I mean, look how hormonal we women get just when we're PMSing! And don't worry about what you're wearing to NYC. Just be you, let your personality shine through, and have fun! Besides, who are you trying to impress anyway? You obviously already have a great husband and if you're trying to impress other women - DON'T. Because their just as worried about how they look as you are (even those skinny little bitches!)

I don't think I can start blaming that...or can I? LOL! Anyhow - I did check Torrid. I always forget about them. I actually like their tights, much more colorful. So I may get something other than black just to perk myself up. I’m only 5 weeks pregnant!! I don’t think I can start blaming that…or can I? LOL!

Oh, and you're PREGNANT so give yourself a break! Let me tell you something - very very few people look like they "really" do in photos. I rarely post photos of myself and when I do they are photoshopped within an inch of themselves. Add some chunky jewelery that feels good and have the time of your life in NYC. Did you check out Torrid? They seem to have more "young" stuff in plus sizes than Lane Bryant. You're beautiful, don't let some dumbass, picture taken at the wrong angle make you feel bad.

That's something to really be proud of. The thing is that I know I can do this. I've done it before, it's just finding the motivation to stay on track. I lose a bunch, gain it (plus) back. The normal cycle. But right now I am pregnant and can't get all crazy dieting. But I can be careful what I eat and not go crazy to prepare myself for after the babies come to get to business. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate the support. Wow! Good for you! That’s something to really be proud of. The thing is that I know I can do this.

I think you are GORGEOUS but I have been where you are now. Two years ago I looked at a picture of myself and was so embarrassed that I had dared go out and let people see me like *that* that I got down on my knees and in hysterical tears prayed for God to help me...needless to say that help didn't come in the form of "miracle skinniness" but it did come in the form of strength. The next day I started counting my calories with Weight Watchers at home, I started minimally exercising and as the time went on the exercise became more and the food choices were easier and within, I'd say about 4 months I had dropped a good 25lbs. Today I stand at 42lbs lost and kept off and looking back I can tell you it wasn't easy but it definitely wasn't as hard as I'd prepared myself for it to be. There's a website called MyFitnessPal.com that offers a lot of support and a food diary to help you keep track of your progress, you may find it helpful too. Regardless of all of this, I think you are gorgeous and when you feel that you are strong enough to begin your weight loss journey to get rid of that heavy heart most of all, remember that you are not alone *hugs* Oh darlin’ don’t get so down over something you can change, life is what we make of it right?
