Really, Word-press woes... I cannot figure out how to post photos and don't have time to do so.... Let me be the first to say that this photo is, in many ways, a idea taken directly from Pasta Queen. She is an amazingly talented writer and blogger who talks about her weight loss experiences with elan and wit.
We had a big fete this weekend and I had some photos snapped of me for the first time in a long, long time... I was sorting through them. Yes, because I email little party follow ups to everyone with cute photos them and their families... when I realized that with photos like this....
I wasn't really standing out as the fat girl in the crowd anymore. Plus, I was really starting to see that losing sixty pounds has made a huge difference and its true I don't really look obese anymore. Sure I am fighting the good fight against some loose skin on my arms...
Here is another shot with me and my running partners... Its hard to believe I am not standing out from the other two in terms of being the fat one....
It was in looking at these photos and a few others.... I realized that somehow I have made my way from obese to not being the noticeably fat girl in the room or in the crowd. It was an oddly liberating sensation. I also realize I really need to get some product for my fly-a-way hair.... Here is a group shot-- I used to dread these because I would just see how much bigger than everyone else I was... I hated group shots... here I am only really distinguished by bad posture... and said arm issue...
Note to self- sleeves baby sleeves.... anyway, I had been steadily avoiding all cameras and now I can see it was good for me to have a few photos taken...
