putting it all out there

today i decided, what better way to own up to this need for change, than to post the picture that started the ball rolling.

if you look to your right, i have just posted the glorious Before picture.  it still makes me shake my head to look at it, as i never thought i was that big.  i have the opposite problem of all of the anorexics out there.  instead of looking in the mirror and seeing a fat person, i look in the mirror and see a thin(ish) person.  maybe that is how the problem started.  no one, other than the photographer, has ever seen that photo.

also to your right you have one of my favourite pictures of myself.  skinny, happy, glowing me (circa 2005).  when i come to this page everyday, instead of looking at the Before pic and hating myself, i will look at the Old (soon to be New) Me pic and get excited about becoming that girl again.

i think this week i will take some real progress pic in my underoos (ok, maybe a bit more than that), and post those to keep me accountable. consider that your first warning. it won't be pretty.

anyhow, i had a great weekend and tracked it all, even the three bottles of wine.  i refuse to give up the things i love as i know it will never stick in the long run...and wine is certainly no exception!  ditto to the homemade bread that cem has been making several times a week.  i am a lucky girl.

until next time.

    I am the same way - it's like I am this totally curvy but small person when the reality is quite different!

    I had to put my wine away for awhile - it was getting to the point where more points were going to wine on the weekend than to actual food. I don't miss it, yet.

  2. i only allow myself wine on the weekend now - i used to drink it almost everynight.

    i do drink more than i should, but it helps keep my sanity! that is all my flex are being used for, for the most part. that's what they are there for, right?
