I recently asked a fellow writer, who is self conscious of some of her physical characteristics, how much she has ever noticed or cared about anyone else's appearance. We are much more aware of our own appearances rather than someone else's, and should never feel inferior because of our looks.Celeste Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518136866180830749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-73507403767265382482011-04-22T17:00:07.827-04:002011-04-22T17:00:07.827-04:00Did I know you back then Edie?

The important thing is not to worry about it. Read me comment to Sharon below.<br />Sharon, it's funny you say that. I was always so VERY self-conscious about being heavy, but I've found that very few people even noticed. <br />I'm sure there's a devotion there!<br />Blessings all - EEdie Melsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902312441667526147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-88042870086037859612011-04-21T19:47:13.930-04:002011-04-21T19:47:13.930-04:00I don't remember you heavy, Edie.

For me, I said, "If I can put that much energy into losing weight, I can also prioritize time with the Lord." Again, I know how challenging weight loss can be and you've done well.TNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023921664255542422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-10231436012438490432011-04-18T08:43:10.247-04:002011-04-18T08:43:10.247-04:00Edie, You look fabulous!
