Last night Amber and I decided to put in some work on a sorely unfinished project. Our Honeymoon scrapbook. Yes. I realize our Honeymoon was over three years ago.
And Amber looked at this picture of me. At Epcot.
Around 340 or 350 pounds.
And then she looked over at me at our table and said.
"I'm so proud of you."
I was shocked. What on Earth would she have to be proud of?
"I look at this picture, and see you now, and I really see a difference. Your weight. Your body. The whole thing."
So I looked. I looked at a picture from the Henson exhibit.
You know? I do see a difference. My face. My chin. My shoulders. My stomach.
My whole body, although not as LIGHT as I want it to be - has made changes for the positive. It's gone from fat and lumpy to more toned, more efficient.
More, dare I say it, athletic?
And here's the funny part - I didn't see it. For over three years.
Until yesterday. When Amber pointed it out to me.
I guess there was something there that wasn't there before.
Tomorrow - THE BEAN'S FIRST PICTURE!!!!
MAIN STREET AWAITS!
Congratulations on 3 days in a row!! I know that people who exercise daily and are thin will think that it isn’t a big deal but I know it is a huge deal and one to be very proud of!!!!! I have not been able to do it for more than 2 days in a row. Every night I think I will stay up when Kevin leaves for work and walk on the treadmill and get stuff done but by morning it doesn’t sound like a very good idea anymore. Not sure what to do to get over that but you seem to have done it so maybe I can too. But enough about me, this is your blog!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to find out about the baby. You will have to start a new scrapbook.

Congratulations! I agree with Dana, three days in a row is something to be proud about. Keep it up, you can do it. :-)

ReplyDeleteAren't you proud of you too? I know I'm proud of you and you do look different.
