Before and after

You thought that meant I would be showing you my project didn't you? Well, that's not quite done yet. I really need Saturday to be in the middle of the week some weeks.

Today, for you, I have my After pictures of me. They would have a lot more impact if I also had Before pictures.

Well, these are the best "before" pics I can come up with.  They are all from November or December. You see I am the one that takes the the pictures in our family and therefore there are not many of me. Especially full length ones. But I guess theses are excellent before pictures because most of them are not me at my best...which is what you want in a before picture...you know, frowning, no make-up slouched a bit. Just so the After picture looks that much better.

Anyway.

Before

 Christmas morning. ( I REALLY need a new robe if I am going to let people take my picture in it)

 OK these next ones are really misleading because I am wearing a shirt that, even back then, was 5 sizes too big. I had to tie a knot in the front just so I didn't trip over it.

 But you can see the fullness of my face and my legs. In the after picture I am wearing the same pants as this picture.

Again with the face and the wide belly.

Now on to the After. Are you ready?

------Ok, I have to say one more thing before I show the After pictures. I have only been at this for 6 weeks. I am not the tiniest thing you have ever seen and there is still room for improvement, but it is a big giant step in the right direction for me.

Ok. *deep breath* I think I am ready now. You? Oh, right. You've been ready 5 pictures ago. ;) Can you tell I'm nervous about what you will think?  I am.

Here goes:

After

So that's me. 10 lbs lighter and 8.5 inches smaller.  

Oh, today was a MUCH better day food wise. I am so grateful for the tender mercies in my life.
