My Journey

Here are some photos taken in Summer 2010 that show me as I was at the start of this blog:

Taking photos up Big Cottonwood Canyon

Fat & Happy in Lake Powell

Backpacking in the Uintas

Playing with my niece in Idaho

Yay double chins in Iowa!

Please note that the angle of the camera for these pre-workout photos was way too forgiving.  Bless my husband for trying to make me look thinner, but it doesn't really show how I truly look.  And I'm not just saying that.  See above and below for proof!

Here are some recent candids that show my true look:

2008

Oh how I hate this photo.  This was the one that made me realize that I don't look as okay as I thought I did.  This was the wake up call photo.  Ugh.  Let's move along....

Taken March 2010

Taken in July 2010

It's not that I look horrible in these pictures, I just don't look great.  I miss the days of walking down the street and getting whistles and other dumb things like that.  I want to hear my husband tell me he thinks I'm beautiful, and actually be able to believe him.  I am doing this for me.  It's time to become the person I have always wanted to be.  I know what to do, so it's time to do it!

UPDATE (Feb. 18th, 2011):  Here are some photos from the past few months.  I'm making slooooow but steady process.
