oh god.
in the mirror this morning i saw my stomach and nearly died.
red stretch marks.
wouldn't be so bad if they weren't there.
i hate them. a lot.
ugly ugly ugly. it feels like they'll never go away and i'll never do this and i'll never be what i want and i just want to wake up and have the weight and the marks and the grossness to be GONE.
ugh.
end braindump.
felt lousy for getting suckered into eating bad-for-you brunch yesterday (sunday) and indulging in candy. threw out the rest of my oversized candycane--i do so love those.
well, now i know that i have to stick stick stick to this plan come hell or high water because i can go by the wayside so easily if i don't.
thanks for listening.

I can relate to the horrors of stretch marks, only mind had nothing to do with weight, per se. When I was 12 or 13, I had a growth spurt -- in all dimensions, but especially my breasts and legs. My legs got significantly longer in a very short time, and I went up to slightly more than a D cup in that same time. The result? Ugly red stretch marks. On my breasts, they looked as though someone had carved canyons of red all over my breasts.
You can imagine, I think, how I responded to all of this. Remember, I was 12 or 13.

Oh wow, me too. I had those red marks. I couldn't ask my mother about them; I thought I was scarred for life. My big ugly fat body as my body was changing.
I'm so careful w/my daughter. I don't want her to feel those awful feelings of your body growing out of your control. Yuck!
