Over the last year or so it's just really got to me again...<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-73360373575941621632010-12-05T19:26:52.013+01:002010-12-05T19:26:52.013+01:00Stace, my wife and I had a similar discussion a fe...Stace, my wife and I had a similar discussion a few years ago when I was intentionally losing weight and kept wanting to lose more. It was a very heated discussion and she was convinced that I was doing this to prepare for transitioning. I can relate.<br /><br />As Melissa says, careful on the icy roads. I know all about that...<br /><br />@Lynn - Love your comment about cats and the door. We have a few felines ourselves.<br /><br />@Jenny - Funny, the eyebrow comment. I distinctly remember a girl in high school telling me that I had female eyebrows that any girl would die for. I guess that's not an issue for me, but they are maintained in a bloke mode....maintaining the facade.<br /><br />Calie xxxCaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280127011882954777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-80146290095087609312010-12-05T16:40:09.254+01:002010-12-05T16:40:09.254+01:00Lynn: The cat hates the door - he runs always runs...<b>Lynn:</b> The cat hates the door - he runs always runs through like we are going to stop him at the last minute. And for some reason is too lazy to use the cat flap if he thinks that we will open the door for him if sits meowing for long enough...<br /><br /><b>Melissa:</b> I think I drove back about as slow as I have ever done last night. The roads were certainly a little interesting in places - but except for witnessing an accident we got back safe and sound. I was pleased of the winter tyres and AWD in places though.<br /><br /><b>Jenny:</b> Thanks for that - you know how to bring a smile to someones face early in the morning. Though what is good for Stace is a nightmare for blokes clothes - they always fit a little too well in some places, and are way to baggy at the waist... Still I'll accept that for getting in the female clothes easier...<br /><br />Thanks for the thoughts all. I appriciate that I am not overweight (and I'm sorry if this sounds like the poor little rich girl whining...)<br /><br />The problem is that whilst I can look at the weight using my head and know that it's OK, there is always a voice in my head saying it can be better.<br /><br />And when I look in the mirror I see a huge fat blob looking back at me (oddly enough the blob staring back has not shrunk after losing the 7 to 10KG this year...). Trying to get that image to match what my rational brain knows is quite difficult...<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-2173944341280132722010-12-05T09:15:05.470+01:002010-12-05T09:15:05.470+01:00I think I've said before that you walk like a ...I think I've said before that you walk like a girl. Damn it, you've got an <i>arse</i>, you <i>b****h</i>! :)<br /><br />But body image problems defy rationality, don't they. Want to know mine? Not height, surprisingly, but eyebrows.

Your therapist is right, you don't want to be skin and bones.<br /><br />Careful on the icy roads, girl! Even Volvos can lose traction, and end up in a ditch. <br /><br />We've been lucky so far, just a light dusting of snow tonight for the first time. <br /><br />Take Care,<br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-28941096312196212622010-12-04T22:34:49.045+01:002010-12-04T22:34:49.045+01:00Cats?

The invention of the door really messed with them didn't it? ;-)<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the whole body image situation - I think I can understand where you are with that. It's not a good place to be in. Hopefully things will improve as you go on.Lynn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.com
