Now for a totally different subject. 
A picture is worth a thousand words isn’t it? Scream! This is exactly how I felt about an hour ago. I decided I’d take my “Daisy Dollars” — you know, $5.00 off every $25.00 spent at the Dress Barn. Well … 1) the daisy dollars can’t be used until tomorrow (sigh), 2) I looked like the lady in the mirror with everything I tried on.
Most ladies know that sometimes we have “good” shopping days and some days just “bite” …
If nothing else, it will either depress a gal or give her the swift KICK she needs to get back on track. I refuse to be depressed — I’m just too blessed to go there, so instead I’ll receive it as a swift KICK. I HAVE COME TOO FAR TO STILL FEEL FAT! What in the world? Plus, I’m still not at the place where I feel comfortable wearing short sleeves. That is SO not fair since I’ve worked so hard. I’m tired of being hot each summer — hiding under my clothes. Hmph. Of course, I must admit that I’ve practically had chocolate hooked to an IV since Valentines. Today WalMart had their Easter chocolate on sale … and you know where this is going. I didn’t resist temptation. Instead I bought some baby blue M&M’s and ate them all.
Anyway, it is April. If I straighten up, surely I could lose some additional weight before summer. Right? If I crucify my flesh and this obsession with chocolate, I’ll be much better off.
Your princess is so very, very cute. Happy Birthday to your dear hubby. I am praying for you sis, asking God to help you get where you want to be with your weight. I love you.
Happy Birthday to your hubby for sure! I hope you have a great day.
You are beautiful Beth…just know that. But I know what you mean about the arms…I really don't like my arms and am not sure I'll ever be comfortable in short sleeves and definitely not sleeveless!
God bless your weekend my friend!
Happy Saturday Beth! What a beautiful little Princess! She & Emily would be great friends. Emily is a Princess through & through (you ought to see her room – Disney pumpkin carriage bed & all!).
Beth – you are BEAUTIFUL!! I feel the same way – no matter what, some days I just feel FAT – & want to hide out. And yeah – that chocolate has had me since Easter. I found 2 more Cadbury eggs, so guess what? They won't be here after today, & it's not because they are going in the trash. 🙂 Praying that you will get those last few 'jigglies' off. Have a blessed weekend, & Happy Birthday to your hubby! Hugs
P.S. Put more pics of the kids at my everyday blog – http://homespunblessings.net/Gratefulheartblog.html Hope you stop by

Happy Birthday to your hubby!
Your little Princess looks adorable!
Stop beating yourself up Beth. You are a precious child of the Most High God. You are beautiful inside and out.
And try using light weights for the arms. It's the only thing that works for me. How's that for going from spiritual to the flesh in a flash? LOL.
Love you,
Debbie

She looks so cute! I love the face painting, too!!!
And girl, I think you would look great with short sleeves!!!! I think we are so critical over ourselves. I know I can be.
And Happy Birthday to your hubby!!!
Happy Birthday to Beth's Hubby!!
Happy Birthday to Beth's Hubby
Happy Birthday to Beth's dear Hubby
Happy Birthday to YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!
As for the food girl, I will be praying…I know the struggle BIG TIME…Mine lasted from after Christmas till last week..more bad days than good days..it was a very difficult time spiritually more than anything…Some may say not everything is spiritual, but this definitely was a battle and it just showed up in the physical realm BIG TIME…
I adore princess's face..I want my face done up like that ..I LOVE IT.
Princess is so cute! She looked like she loved it! The art does look great! Happy Birthday to your hubby! God bless him and give him more birthdays to come. I think we all go through that stage. Where we see a different picture of ourselves. It's hard as our flesh is weak. But He knows our weaknesses. So, we know we can overcome, not by our strength but by His. Have a great weekend sister and God bless.
Pretty Princess with a pretty paint job! Happy birthday to Hubby! What a sweet story of your meeting. Chocolate…yum! I had a surprising weigh in today.
Beth, you are right. You have come to far, worked to hard, to see yourself that way. You know you are beautiful, dear friend!
You wear those short sleeves, and you would be the first one to tell someone else that it's our inner beauty that matters, right? Right? I know you would be.
So tell that to yourself and flaunt those sleeveless arms!
BTW, chocolate and I are speaking more often than I'd like…sigh…
Happy Birthday to hubby and your precious little girl looks adorable as usual!
I hate shopping for clothes for me. You are beautiful my friend and you look great. NOt fat.
Happy birthday to you wonderful husband.
Wow! What amazing face painting! :O
She is so beautiful & SO ARE YOU! You've got to banish the devil from your mind when it comes to body issues and celebrae who you are now.
I hope your hubby had a wonderful birthday!
Sweet princess will never wash her face again! I can't wait to have a princess party for my gand baby! I'm going to try and hold off until she is 4.
I so feel like that some days when I look in the mirror. But then I remember the enemies lies. Just remember how far you have come and be blessing God so much that the enemies lie will not penetrate.
Love you!
Birthday blessings to your husband. How cute is Princess! Great! Maybe this lady can have a booth and everyone can buy tokens at the corn maze in the fall! 🙂 I hear you on the photo! Blessings to you !
How adorable is that princess of yours! I love the artwork on her pretty face!! I bet she just hated to have to get it washed off.
Happy Birthday to your husband!!
Hope your hubby had a great birthday!
Oh, I understand about the chocolate…I truly do! *sigh*
I bet she had a blast at the party! She looks so excited about her face paint!
Yes, I know exactly what you mean about THOSE shopping days.
Happy B day to your hubby.
