  • Ewww, gross...

    I found a bunch of old year books around my house. 2nd grade, cute. 3rd grade, so cute! 4th grade, I was adorable. 5th grade, I was OK. Sixth grade and beyond... gross!

    I never realized how large I was, during the time I was in middle school. But, I saw several picture of myself in 7th grade, playing, sitting with other classmates, and my stomach was... huge. Especially compared to all the other kids.

    Old pictures are quite possibly the most disillusioning things, and some great motivation. There is a Christmas Bazaar at my old school this weekend, and I actually can't wait to go and see my old classmates. I'll show them: that girl wasn't me. That was me covered in fat.

    I just. Felt pretty bad after looking at them, but now I feel really good, because I have made such a difference.

    How much have you transformed yourselves? Would people you used to know recognize you?

      I get the "My goodness, what have you done? You look great!" statements. And I'm darn happy to hear them!

      I actually am looking more and more like I did in high school . . . and I think that might just possibly be a good thing!

        I had a former student come into the shop this week who hasnt been in for several years and who after making her purchases said 'I did a stained glass course a few years ago here. What happened to the lady who used to run the shop?'
        She was amazed when I said 'I lost some weight' LOL
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

              You know, I think that's something I need to do as well. Look through my old photos and see how much change I have made.
