Need some shameless flattery today.....

I won't beat around the bush-need some inflation to the ego today. My B-pics are on Saturday and I am not feeling it. I was supposed to get my period this week-Today actually-but messed with my birth control so I am skipping a month. BUT I still have the bloating and the crazy munchies etc.

So needless to say, I didnt lose the 5 pounds I wanted to and have instead gained a few in water weight. My skin is breaking out do to the PMS symptons as it does every month. and I'm just not feeling attractive with all the issues with DH which we got resolved but not in the way I hoped-startign merriage councsleing. Sad and embrassing but true. We adore one another but living togetehr needs some work. But we will be fine.

Its just all working the ego today. So Im asking for shameless hugs.

Cheer up, you are going to rock those pics.

Try Pamprin for the bloat and icky feeling.

As for the issues with Pete, you will get them resolved. Look at it as a learning experience, you with both learn how to be better with each other.

On my best day i'm not as beautiful as you Your husband is going to love the pics! I know you feel horrible, but you look great!

You are gorgeous and are going to rock those pictures!!!!!! Pete is a lucky man to have such a great wife and I am sure that things will work themselves out with you guys!!

hugs for you!!!

as far as your b-pics go - you are so prepared that your just gonna do fabulous tomorrow!!!!! that i have no doubt.. for me when i feel bloated and that retaining water feeling - i head to the gym.. just makes me feel like i'm sweating it off!! maybe its a mental thing but thats what works for me..

with your hubby.. these are the bumps everyone goes thru at some point and you guys will work it out... the first years are great but at the same time tough.. getting used to each others habits and growing up together as one.. i think we've all gone through some bumps at some point..

enjoy saturday!!

oh you will look awesome in those pictures!! no need to feel this way! you are a beautiful girl!!
everything will be fine!!

Cheer up gorgeous!

For the breakout - your gorgeous makeup will cover that up and you'll look as sexy as ever.

For the PMS symptoms - take a midol. That should take care of any pain and bloating.

For the issues with DH - your love, and the faith you both have in your love will guide you through this rough time.

For the self esteem - look in the mirror! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! You are going to rock those pics! Believe that.

Hope that helps a little. This is me being honest here, not inflating your ego whatsoever, just me being honest.

ok, honestly, you could be a model! perfect jaw line and cheek bones with killer hair to boot!
you have awesome carmel colored skin and beautiful eyes! AAAAAAAAAAND you are soooooooooo photogenic! do you have any bad pictures of yourself? i think not!

i really think your bpics are going to come out amazing. i know you wanted to lose 5 pounds but try to be comfortable in your skin they way you are right now! and with camera angles and sucking it in poses, u wont be able to see the 5 lbs u wanted to lose!

we all don't have victoria secret model bodies.. and u know what, that is a tough job tryng to maintain that kind of body, so leave it to them to starve themselves!

you will look great! and we cant wait to see!

Thanks girls-looking like a racoon now ebcause Im tearign up but I love you all. I hoenstly do. Just needed a little pick me up/kick in the pants. Life is going to work out. God says so. Love ya all!

couldn't have said it better! Jenn - u've preparing for this for months! Don't let bad vibes get u down... U ARE BEAUTIFUL and are going to look beautiful...enjoy every second of it! stress=zits so that's probably a big part of the reason why u're breaking out! From one anxiety prone person to another
...makeup is called makeup for a reason - u will be FINE! and HELLO - u are the photoshop queen! lol. forget about those last 5lbs....think about how hard u've worked & how gorgous u are & how much DH is going to FLIP when he sees ur photos! U ARE FABULOUS!!!

ps: 1) yes - ev's right - midol is a miracle med

2) do NOT be embarrassed about marital counseling...it's an awesome thing that you guys are taking the step to do it! It only shows how much u care about ur relationship and lord know we ALL have our marital issues. NO couple is perfect!!

3) if it makes u feel any better i had the worst start to my day....woke up to my dog having explosive diarreah all over our apartment!!!!!

OOOOH did i forget to mention???? My chihauha is all better - woke up one day last week & was comletely fine. Not my other dog has explosive diarreah today!! poor thing - every time he goes to walk he army crawls real quick & then tucks his butt & lays down...lol i think he's afraid it's gonna come out!! poor thing..

Awwww Jenn, i have nothing original to add, all the ladies said it already, but I have to agree, 5 lbs of bloat is NOT going to show in your pix, and by Saturday that will NOT be a problem, ok!!!!!
Look at your AVATAR girl -- THAT is who you are, even if you're feeling a little blue today!!!!

I have a friend who helps me through the low times who always says: 'Feelings aren't facts.'
So how I FEEEEEL today is NOT how things ARE, and guaranteed, tomorrow i'll FEEEEEL differently.

Resolution of any kind with Pete is a GREAT thing, don't get down on yourself or your marriage for not being 'PERFECT' - whatever that means; you're just taking a time out in order to work things out in a loving and respectful way. I mean that sincerely, and I applaud your bravery for taking that step now, I GUARANTEE the skills you learn - together - will be a great investment for your married life together!!!

Be well sweetie, have a GREAT day and give yourself a little hug!!!!

im always here w/ some !

Youre beautiful Jenn, and youre pics are going to look amazing, even if youre not feeling great at the moment.

I'm glad you and Pete are working on things. I'll be for you guys.

You are so beautiful and you are going to look just lovely in your pictures!

i would SMACK THAT ASSS in a minute!!!



darling you are beautiful in every way...you will work your inner latina FIERCENESS at the bpics and everything will fall into place with DH, at God's will, but you know all that already!!

we love you Jen!!!!

here's some funnies to cheer you up!







and for the graaaaaaaaaaaaand finally!!!!

Thanks again girls..I am trying. Just tired. We all have those days. I can't wait for the NYC GTG-I wish we had a magic world where everyone could come to whatever location but at least alot of us get to meet and have nachos and cheap beer

Lupita that poster of the dogs is soo going to be new avatar. I laughed aloud just now and my boss was liek 'HUH?' lol.

y'all are THE BEST!

Jenn, you know I'm one of your biggest fans; you are one hot mama and don't you forget it!! Your pics are going to be incredible-no doubt in my mind. Makeup & Midol will make you feel better.

As for the counseling, I salute you!! It takes very brave people to admit that they need a little help. I think it's wonderful that you guys are willing to put some extra work into insuring your marriage.

Now, I want you to put that great smile of yours on and have a much better afternoon. Don't make me have to come over there!!

I love ya, sweetie!!
