do you have a pic of yourself that amazes you that you would like to share?
i've always been chubby.
i remember, in 5th grade, i had the biggest boobs in my class cause of my chubbiness. and i hated that.
i was bigger in high school than i am now.
in 2001, my husband died unexpectedly
i found myself weighing 240lbs
but,
i was suddenly in total control of my life
and the lives of my children.
(
he was a control freek )
i have tried to make good/healthy choices in my daily life ever since.
i eat all my veges and always choose stairs if i have a choice.
i have not reached my goal #, but i was awed by this pic taken of me last week while on vacation in cabo.
i look much better in the pic than in real life for i am "poised" and streached out!
(skin/fat folds dissiappear)
but i wanted to share.
