reflections

photos, set 1

okay... as promised (though a day late) here are my starting pics.  they make me choke up to post them, so please be kind.

2 August 06, 255 lbs

            

okay.  this is my jumping off point.   its funny, i have not seem myself unclothed (well, semi-unclothed) in a looooong time.  i mean, yeah, i am naked daily, but to just look at myself straight on in a photo...  *sigh.*   its not a nice sight for me, but hopefully they will motivate me.

(this is the "ideal"... still curvy but much more fit, the goal is about 150-60, approx size 14)

birth-day

i dont know who i have become. 

.

my head tells me that all i have to do is x-y-z and i will be beautiful again.  but it is becoming quite apparent that its really not that easy.  i have to do something, though, because... well, quite frankly, i am hating what i see when i look in the mirror. i realize how enormously unhealthy i am - emotionally and physically.  and so...  with this blog, i hope to make a change.

.

i have decided that i will keep this journal for a year, during which i will lose 100 lbs.  i dont know how "do-able" that is, but it is what i would like to do. i want to fit back into my size 14s at the minimum. 

on the first of every month, i will post comparison pictures and stats (of course, tomorrow will just be that sad, sad starting pic.)  i am thinking that if i am accountable to you, my dear audience, then maybe (just maybe!) things will be different this time...
