Before Pictures
This is the point where I take very deep breaths. I took the traditional “before” pictures so that both you and I could see exactly where I’m starting from. It’s been a bit of a slap in the face because while I know I’m overweight, part of me didn’t believe it was that bad. I’m very tempted to keep these pictures to myself, but that hasn’t served me well in the past, so it’s time to change that.
Deep breaths… here at the before pictures.

And the proof of my weight:
Ignoring the dirty scale, and scary toenails, the number is 239. Two Hundred and Thirty Nine Pounds. Oh my god. That’s the highest it has ever been, EVER. I never thought I would see that number on the scale. Obviously, something has to change.
And just in case you are wondering, those pictures were taken on September 22, 2007. You can tell they weren’t taken before that because I just got my hair cut short on the 20th!
You can totally do this. And so can I right? *nod and smile* Shall we set a goal?
Weighing in once a week is supposedly too much and very frustrating. What about a once a month weigh in?
This blog is so great, Jen - the graphic rocks!
And Jenn - you are so brave! I don’t know if I could do that, even for myself. I was thinking about it recently, though…I think I was wearing a shirt that is really, really comfortable, but, ’showcases’ the bad news - and I thought, ‘Maybe I oughta take a pic…’
I don’t have a scale, so I couldn’t get in on the weigh in…maybe I should pick one up at WalFart next time we get groceries - you can get them pretty cheap, right?
