What do you look like?

[Janet]

Okay everyone are ya ready??????????????

I'm so embarassed to do this, but here goes...





Whoops...I chickened out!!!!

[Janet]

Alright, here is my ugly mug...you have my permission to frame it and put it under the sink...................

[Amber_lv]

Shut up you are beautiful! And you have amazing blue eyes!

[Janet]

Those are my daddy's eyes, but thank you very much...

Doesn't it sound weird for a 51 year old to say "daddy"? Anywho....I lost him when I was 19 and I look a lot like him.

[Janet]

You guys stop it and stop it this instance...I'm sitting here crying like a big baby..lets look at someone else's picture now!!

[Marilyn]

Okay, here goes. Hope this works. Janet, you are beautiful, and you look like you could be a member or our family.

[Janet]

What a beautiful setting for a picture. You are very pretty! Once I go to Weight Watchers and get an awesome bod then I'll post a body shot. Don't look for it any time soon...lol You do look like you could be my much younger sister or cousin.

[rivermom]

My gosh Janet, you are lovely! You are just too darn hard on yourself. I think you have the warmest prettiest eyes ever!!

[QUOTE=Janet]Alright, here is my ugly mug...you have my permission to frame it and put it under the sink................... : What do you mean janet "ugly".You got such a pretty smile,it makes your face glow.Nothing ugly that i can see.

[Marilyn]

Gosh girl, you have the most beautiful blue eyes!! Don't be so hard on yourself, you are lovely!!!!

[Janet]

You ladies are just too awesome for words. Marilyn, did you put your age in here somewhere? There is no way you are old than I am!!! I don't mind getting older, I just hate the way I look. Maybe I would feel better about it all if I was thinner, so I'm going to give it my best effort. I don't see why you are not handling it very well...you're so pretty....I'm going to check again and see how old you are.

[Janet]

Okay Marilyn, I just went and looked. I was born in March of '55. You are one year or less older than me, but you look so young!!!! How do you do it? I honestly thought by your picture you were in your 30's at most. If I were you I sure wouldn't worry about it any longer!!!! You look great!

[Marilyn]

Janet, you revealed my age in an open forum!! I pm'd you!! It's okay, I'll forgive

Hey, clean livin' plus in my job I have to look good. I sell valves to men.

Actually, I try to take care of myself because cancer, heart disease & alzheimers all run in my family big time. My father had his first heart attach at 52. My cholesterol was up for a while, but I was able to get it down by modifying my diet. Several of my cousins have passed away from cancer. I've had a few cancer scares myself, as a result, have had a total hysterectomy and breast lump removed. I see my oncologist again next week. I don't have cancer, they are just making sure I don't get it. I just heard on the radio today that a study was completed that shows that women who workout regularly are 26% less likely to get breast cancer. Working out supresses the production of estrogen which they believe is a leading factor in breast cancer. I'm fortunate that we have a very nice gym not far from our home, and it only snows here about every 10 years or so. No problem getting there. It's a little expensive, but hey if it helps us live longer, healthier, what's a few extra dollars a month?

I know this is long, an may be in the wrong thread, but oh well, it's late & I'm too tired to edit.

I am so sorry, but I checked out the "Introduction Quiz" forum and found out before you PM's me. I feel so bad! But you look great.

You're doing all the right things. I wish, with my family history I would be more motivated. My father died of his first heart attack at the age of 60. My older sister died of cancer 3 days before her 40th birthday in '81. My older brother has had 3 heart attacks and he has congestive heart failure at 59. Not a good track record for my younger brother and myself.

I'm hoping once I go to Weight Watchers tomorrow that I will like it and that it will help me. I've tried everything else and I'm praying this works. I am also getting back on the treadmill. I'm starting that on Friday. I know I should start today, but I've always had to gear myself up, so please wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
