After my ex husband left us, I had just had our third child, and had two other children, 4 and 2, to run around after. I barely had time to shower, and I really could care less about what I looked like. It has been two years now, and I am back to my normal weight and take good care of myself. Lately I have been enjoying getting looks when I'm out and about, in my car or wherever we are. It is almost like I have gone to the other extreme, thinking I am pretty cool. I don't think I'm too full of myself, but I've noticed pride creeping in sometimes. I haven't had to fight that feeling for a while due to a damaged self esteem. I don't know what my question is, really, except that I read a bible verse during my bible study the other night about being humble, and I'm trying to find out how to have a good self esteem while being humble. I'm rambling here. Thanks for listening. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

If you have to ask, then you have healthy self esteem. Enjoy it.

Stop worrying and enjoy yourself. Sounds like your esteem is back where is should be.
