You're on the South Beach diet? Wow, I tip my hat off to you! I absolutely have to have carbs and meat in my diet or I would go NUTS! I know it's hard to not compare yourself to others. This is exactly what Satan wants all of us to do. He knows just as well as the Lord that if we feel bad about ourselves because we don't look a certain way, dress a certain way, drive a certain type of car, have a certain number of shoes in our closets, or whatever (btw I am guilty of all of these things on this little list), it has the possibility of destroying us. You're a strong, faithful woman and I'm sure everyone who reads your blog will agree with me!Tyler and Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841813508990273879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545171000820065426.post-59753566632245642232010-06-11T08:59:18.322-06:002010-06-11T08:59:18.322-06:00I too struggle with this! I think we all do! I am ...I too struggle with this! I think we all do! I am trying to just be healthy instead of a certain size or weight. As long as I am getting some activity and eating right, I have to be happy with who I am and where I am. You are awesome JaNece! You are truly someone I admire and have ALWAYS looked up to. You are beautiful, faithful, kind, caring, outgoing, and compassionate. You gotta give yourself a break! You just had a baby!!! It took nine months to get those pounds, it should take at least that time to take it off! Don't stress you are beautiful!!! Love ya!

I look at all the women in our neighborhood and I think they are so much prettier than me, their houses are cleaner, their cars are much nicer, their children are perfect and I think I am a mess. I have to learn to be content with me and what I have. You are beautiful and amazing and one of those women I envy... although I am going to also try and stop the envy and just be more content.

All I could see in the mirror was the things that I didn't like about myself. So here's to trying to love myself, because I would take this momma pooch any day to get my kids!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00268847230159668949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545171000820065426.post-82368568808044225032010-06-10T19:56:12.812-06:002010-06-10T19:56:12.812-06:00You are awesome.

And thanks for inspiring others around you. You don't just make yourself better, but those around you too.

I have been in the same slump these last few weeks and I was actually thinking about blogging about it too (maybe I still will :) ), except for I don't have the excuse of just having baby or being on a no sugar diet. I think it is so interesting how we all can do this to ourselves, because the truth is I think you are on the top of everyone I know that has so much natural beauty. I always think you look beautiful, anytime I see you. I actually hate people like you that I see can be in there pajamas and still look beautiful, I have to put some hard work into hiding my acne and fixing my mess of a hair and I still will never be close to your beauty. But you are so right that is now what life is about. I just have to remind myself that everytime I see myself in a mirror :)Christiansen'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529807941416775019noreply@blogger.com
