So today during a slow part of the day at work I decided to look through the photo books of my boys. Each year since DS1 has been born I make all the grandparents & my self a brag book that I print out using www.mypublisher.com. So I don't have the 2006 book to cover the first 6 months of DS1 but I have 2007-2012. We visit Disneyland quite often and it is really the only time I allow my self to be in pics. It was interesting, I found my self in so many more pics in 2007 book this was right after that almost 30 lbs weight loss w/ LA Weight Loss. I had hit 140 right before the trip to Disneyland that year. Then the further the years go the further I saw my weight gain & also so less & less of me in photos. Here is a side by side of 2007 at 140 lbs (so still considered over weight for my short height of 4' 11'') and the one next to it is from 2012 at almost 180.
Isn't it amazing...... I look at the one taken last year and I hardly recognize myself. I mean is that person really me??? I take much betters pics of myself because I am very aware of my angles & hiding the chins but this was a same angle head on taken by my Mom. I showed DH & his response was I think you're pretty. I am glad he does but he loves me inside & out. I can't believe I've let my self get this far. The pic on the left I even seem to be able to smile bigger because my cheeks are not in the way. I have to do something. What pisses me off the most is I know I have a competitive athlete inside me.
We leave for our Anniversary trip day after tomorrow. I am planning on coming back fully ready to go for all our goals, No more overweight, uncomfortable, unconfident, unhealthy me.
