I think I am a hypocrite

I am really positive to other bloggers who are down on themselves for being overweight. After looking at the pictures from today's outing, I thought "OMG, I look awful. I am bigger than I thought and my face is so round." How can I be positive to others and so hard on myself? At one time, my sister and I were about the same size. As you can see, she is still thin. I have been on so many diets, I can't name them all. Some were really awful. Several times I lost weight, but it always came back, plus some.  I do wonder why I can be so positive to others and not to myself.

To change the subject, my sister, brother-in-law, Mother, and I went to eat lunch at TGIFriday's.  After lunch, my sister took pictures of me and my Mother and I took some of my sister and Mother at a play fountain at a local shopping center. There was a lady and her daughter in the fountain area who obviously were wondering what the heck we were doing.

My sister loves photography and will be helping me to take some pictures sometimes when she is in town.  I hope that I learn a lot from her. She has a nice DSLR camera. Maybe I can learn enough so that I can purchase one to use so that I do not have to rely on someone else to take my pictures.

I plan on wearing this dress to a wedding next week, so I wanted to wear it to see if there were any issues with it. There were. The facings at the neck of the dress keep working their way up and out.  I will deal with it prior to the wedding, so I won't be fussing with the dress and I can have fun instead.
