the shock of my life

Hello and happy new year.

I am not one for standing in from of the camera, but when I was emailed a photo taken last christmas and another taken yesterday by a friend I was angry at first, how dare he keep a photo of fat me.

I didn't want to look at it, it was difficult and embarrassing!

Then in the quiet light of day I sat down and flicked between the two, I couldn't see myself in fat photo, I had only seen myself in the mirror, but my brain hadn't computed what 100 or so pounds looks like. I had still seen myself as overweight. The fat photo now sits on my refrigerator.

The weight reduction has taken place since April 2010. It's like being 21 again. :smile: I ave been a regular on here reading and learning. Thanks for the journey.

    I actually said WOW out loud. You look YEARS younger. Sadly, your fat picture is what "normal" is these days. Way to set yourself apart!
