Ok, new pic of me from last night

A lot skinnier than before, perhaps, but you've definitly not gotten to an unhealthy kind of skinny.
Glad to see at least some fun is being had. :p
 
You're definitely looking better than the first in-hospital pics. Glad to see it. Stay well, please.

Antenna remains on-line.
 
Look at that handsome devil! I'm glad to see you're feeling better. :rose:
 
You've lost loads Bet...but you look great!

Hope you are feeling better :)
 
That isn't me in that photo, I don't know who that person is.

I woke up one day and looked in the mirror and the person I saw in the reflection was someone else. This broken body isn't mine, that face isn't me.

There is something terribly wrong when it feels like a thief stole who you are in the middle of the night and left you with a bad copy of yourself.

I don't know what happened, I feel lost and alone.
 
I read the thread about your hospital stay and may I say I'm very glad you came through A-OK. I'm not sure what is causing your weight loss, but I do remember you mentioning your strength has diminished due to an illness. I hope things turn out well for you. I'm pulling for you.

I know. *hugs* The first time I got sick I lost 50 lbs in a month. I'd lay in the bathtub and stare at my legs cause they were so skinny and weird looking. Then I was put on prednisone and I gained all that back, and I'd stare at myself in the mirror, wondering where my face went.

I made lots of stuff at that point. It made me feel like myself, it was always what I'm about. Photos seem to be your thing and it's good you're doing them.
 
Good for you having a good time with your friends, getting better!

:rose:
 
Reminds me of freshmen year. Just bring a bottle of something and you're everyones best friend. Taken nothing serious, talk to strangers like you've known them forever. Fun times.

Now I spend most hours of sunlight in the dungeon basement with rats and drugs and paper work.

I wish I could strike a balance, but just the thought of that is laughable. Maybe if they added another 20 hours to the day. I avoid routine though, routine makes me bad person.

You know what you just wrote proves that you are still their, inside. That's good, you don't want to lose that. Things are different now, the trick is making them work for you in a way that makes you feel good. Try stuff, see what works.
 
When I'm busy, out with friends and taking photos I can put that feeling of wrongness aside for a while. I can't do that all the time though and I'll have to open myself up to accepting these changes, let them become part of me.

I'll try and take it as an opportunity to get rid of old bad habits and baggage, form healthier patterns and focus on my own happiness.
 
I agree that you are looking MUCH better than the last picture of you I saw! I think you look great! Now let's just get you feeling great, too.

Whatever ends up happening should be interesting. Getting healthy and finding happiness is my goal. :eek:
 
Dude, if I wasn't hetro...

Just sayin'

LOL!

You are thinner than you used to be, but you look really good. There was one picture where you looked downright sickly, and this is so much better.
 
I've still got a whole lot of work to do in order to get to where I'm comfortable in this body. A big part of what I lost was muscle and bone so I've got to do work on body composition and will need to spend a lot of quality time in the gym and other physical activities as well as nail the nutrition properly. I've managed to stop losing weight since I started going to the gym a couple of weeks or so ago which is good. I'm picking up strength quickly but I'm still pathetically weak compared to where I used to be.. it'll just take time and patience. I'm definitely learning patience from all of this. :)
