I miss me.

I miss my old self – energetic, perky, happy, all over the place.

I miss being social.

I miss shopping and dressing up and feeling good about myself.

I miss feeling healthy.

I miss the days when my weight wasn’t always on my mind.

I miss not hating myself.

You’re so beautiful, Maria. Loved all the pictures of you. Can’t wait to meet you in Ottawa in August. You are so going to win this, and I’m going to be so proud of you when you’re announced the winner! Also? Can’t wait to hear about all the tips you will share with us, because Lord knows I need help, too! I’ve been dieting my entire life and it got a whole lot harder to lose weight after having kids!
You were beautiful in the photos AND you’re beautiful now. But I get it. I look at my old photos and I’m like huh? That’s me? I hope you win this!
You aren’t the only one who misses old parts of themselves, trust me =) Best of luck to you!!!

I know that feeling…I will do whatever I can to help you find the old Maria. Keep your chin up, she’s in there. But, remember this Maria ROCKS, too!
you look beautiful in all your pictures but I understand the “I need to get me back”. I vote for you daily and look forward to following along on your new journey. by the way holy cute hubby
What a great post about getting real and back to YOU. Regardless of the results, continue your journey to reclaiming yourself!
Big hugs, Maria. You so deserve this & I’m using all my votes to make sure you win. Every mommy deserves to get back in touch with herself & what an awesome opportunity for you to do this!
I’m voting for you. Go Maria go!
I voted ^_^

Beautiful photos! I really hope you win and will be keeping everything crossed for you… Good luck!!
I’ve been voting for you.
And not to get all psychological on you (not least of all b/c I’m no psychologist), but you have to love yourself regardless of the outside package. Seriously. I’ve been working out for over a year now, and at first it was to lose weight. But now it is about feeling awesome about myself. About feeling like I am worth it! You really won’t succeed if you don’t love yourself enough to feel like all the work is worth it.
But thanks for saying what so many of us have thought at some point in our lives.
I’ve been voting for you! You TOTALLY deserve this. I agree with the previous poster that you need to also work on feeling good about yourself from the inside! But I think you’re heading in that direction. Continuing to love your posts!
You are gorgeous, inside and out and I know how much you want this so I am voting every day. You can most certainly find that “ME” again my friend…
