The Christmas season has always been my favorite. It is just shortly after midnight & I just wrapped the majority of presents. I love the spirit of the season and so thankful for the Reason for the Season.
As I've said before, I decided to be in the pictures. So I booked & took our family pictures even w/ no weight loss and I want to be in the home movies this year w/o those awkward moments were you see me trying to hide my tummy or chin. Gift giving is my love language and truly, there is nothing more I love than giving someone the perfect gift. I am super excited about some of the gifts I am giving this year. We went a little overboard & got the boys their own iPads minis and they are going to freak out! I got my Mom a Coach purse cause she deserves it and I am knitting this shawl/cowl for my niece that I think she is really going to love.
I am so uncomfortable in my own skin and my stomach is starting to sit between my legs when I sit criss cross apple sauce(as my 1st grader would say). My weight & size has been effecting my enjoyment of my favorite things like Disneyland & Christmas for years because of the pictures & videos. It is not fair that I have been allowing this to happen for so long. And with each year I've gotten bigger, making it more difficult each year to look past it. The family pictures of me I posted, are not hiding my double chin but I can say I went in and that is my real smile, a little crooked & a twinkle in the eye. :-) My first goal before any weight loss goal is go be a joyful in all the pictures I am in this holiday. Not to hide but to be in the picture and be present, enjoying my favorite holiday to the fullest.
