Among the many great points she has to make is that even though she was determined to be the first woman to win the Biggest Loser, she had made up her mind to change her life and she said that if she hadn't made it on the show, she would have found another way to get to where she is today-very inspiring!Margohttp://www.teneasypieces.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276742149921522770.post-87110759246121342882010-03-28T07:25:19.387-07:002010-03-28T07:25:19.387-07:00Kelly-I'm so glad you're back! We were wor...Kelly-I'm so glad you're back! We were worried :) Because we've all been there. Today is a new day and YOU are in control of your choices. All you can do with yesterday is learn from it, just use it as raw data without getting your feelings all wrapped up in it. Prom is just one night and you have MANY bigger, better nights ahead that you'll want to feel your best for. <br /><br />I didn't go to my prom because I didn't feel good enough about myself to go. I wasn't happy with my looks or my weight (btw- I WISH I was that weight now!) or the whole scene-trying on dresses, etc. But I got over it pretty quickly! By graduation I was so ready to get on with my life that I really have no regrets about missing prom :) And I can honestly say my life has steadily gone uphill since then. Even with the challenges life throws everyone's way, I wouldn't trade a single day of my life now just to say "I went to prom." Not that you *shouldn't* go-I'm just saying that if you do or if you don't, it's so not a big deal. You might not believe this, but it is so much better to feel pretty and great about yourself EVERY DAY than to have some photos of the ONE NIGHT in your life that you felt that way. Hope that makes sense! When I look back at my high-school self trying on those godawful,tiny dresses I can honestly say that the way I wanted SO desperately to feel about myself then is exactly the way I feel now.<br /><br />Plus? I have TONS of friends who never went to prom!! And one friend of mine throws a HUGE formal prom every December where we all get super-dressed up and have an awesome time year after year. Prom is where you make it, girl! Keep in touch! We're all here for you. And you can email me if you ever want to at mpetersporras@yahoo.com. Please remember that you are worth staying focused and that we are SO proud of you!<br />:) MargoMargohttp://www.teneasypieces.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276742149921522770.post-4968297276727420662010-03-27T08:18:03.288-07:002010-03-27T08:18:03.288-07:00Hi Kelly - YOU CAN DO THIS.

Here's the thing - if you keep focusing on yesterday, then you're never going to be happy. All you have to do is focus on today. I was exactly in the same position as you! I promised myself that I would be at my goal weight by prom. I didn't even get close and I was so mad at myself. But then, literally a month later I realized that prom is a very minor detail that you'll barely remember for the rest of your life! <br /><br />But 5 months from now when prom is over and everyone has moved on (which I promise they will), people will then be thinking going to college, parties, etc. You can still make those goals, you really really can!! Just focus on today, don't bother thinking about tomorrow cause it's not here yet. you can so do this and we're all here for you!!!!Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173996263733166298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276742149921522770.post-63820505711001300712010-03-19T08:37:30.499-07:002010-03-19T08:37:30.499-07:00Good to see you back!

It would have been the easiest thing in the world for you to ignore this blog and keep on eating/gaining (plenty of blogs I've been following have gone down this route, sadly). Well done for stepping up to the plate and making yourself accountable. <br /><br />The only advice I have for you is to not focus on your prom, but rather a longer-term goal and the benefits of losing the excess weight. Ok, you probably won't be at goal for your prom, but you *could* be at goal for another important milestone in your life if you set your mind to it. We all fall down on the way to our goals, and it's those of us who pick ourselves up and carry on/start again who will make it to the end. It doesn't matter how long it takes - it's not a race. :o)Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237128259799260713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276742149921522770.post-50756359055042048422010-03-18T20:55:21.070-07:002010-03-18T20:55:21.070-07:00Kelly, honey, my best advice is to pick yourself u...Kelly, honey, my best advice is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back to it. I KNOW how you feel!!! We all do hon. Turn this hopelessness around though sweetie, get angry, and use that anger to motivate. Kick yourself in the ass and get back in gear. Then let that anger go, because you won't need it. Please stop focusing on the negative, stop making it a negative. It's NOT hopeless, you ARE worth it.

You are NOT alone. I know it's hard to believe, but there is nothing to be ashamed about. This is hard. We've all been there. In fact, your words remind me a lot of myself. Just please don't give up on yourself. None of us have. And please keep reaching out. We're here for you.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587714695700032956noreply@blogger.com
