Once Upon a Time
Monday, February 11, 2008
Okay, seriously. I guess I need to remove my little Blog 365 button from my sidebar. I am so not worthy. Maybe I'll be the founder of the club: "Blog Every Other Day...or at least twice a week"
My sis sent me a pic that she scanned with her (obviously) crappy scanner. I think it's one of the only pictures of me in existence that doesn't make me feel bad about myself. (I'm the one on the right, by the way) I had just turned 15. I guess it's kind of sad that I was 15 the last time I remember being close to my ideal weight. I know I can't place the blame on anyone but myself, but shortly after that pic was taken, I met the guy I dated through the rest of high school. We got fat together. We would sit around and smoke out and then get the munchies and gorge ourselves on junk food. all. the. time. I think we both gained 25 lbs in the matter of 2 years. He eventually took it off. I didn't.
This picture inspires me.
Gosh. It makes me want to vomit when I compare it to this pic.

Wow! Weren't the early 90's so special? LOL Your post reminded me of the same thing- a picture when I was about 17 or 18 where yeah, it's the only one where I don't criticize myself. I'll have to post that one for ya. LOL But in a seriousness, we've had kids and we've had life experiences that have changed our bodies. Always know that underneath you're always the same person though. We just get "modified" to something even better..fat or no fat.
You will be there again!
I should post an old pic of myself, too :)

You do look great! Young, tanned, toned! Ahh, the good old days! I totally hear what you are you saying. I do agree with Dawn B though, in that, we will never be teenagers again and will never have tight teenage bodies again. But we can be healthy adults with the right changes in lifestyle. You aren't alone. I'm right there with ya.
I know. Me too. I don't mind the way I look now unless I look at old pictures, but reminders of my former good looks (skinniness, better hair and skin) are awfully depressing.
