Am I really THAT fat?!?!?!
June 12th, 2006I go on day to day, convincing myself that I’m really not THAT fat. Yeah, im pudgy, ive got a jiggle when I walk, so yeah, I’m fat. I’ve seen a lot of these weight loss that have the before and after shots. So, about a week ago I took pictures of myself in bathing suit. I just recently downloaded from the camera onto my computer and all I can say is…I’m a lard ass. It isn’t a pretty site.
I think I will take a picture every month in these and as there are changes I will post them here, but not until then. I’m too shy. Today I am going to take my measurements and see where I’m at. I’ve always been a big girl weight wise and I’m thicker than your average woman even when I’m in shape so I will judge my success by my measurements rather than the scale.
Hey FG, thats a very wise - and might I add, courageous - way of measuring your success. When I did Body For Life I had to pose wearing a bra & briefs; and I hated what I saw. I shuddered at the thought it being posted on the web, so I know exactly what you mean.
Good luck! I might try and do the same thing that you’re doing; although I’m trying to fit into a top for my friend’s wedding - I’ll just take photos of myself in the top from time to time and try to make comparisons. All the best to you!

Its good to take lots of progress photos. Trust me, one day you will look back at them and be amazed at how much you’ve changed! It is the nicest feeling in the world. I still can’t believe that I am the same person as some of the photos of me. Now, go drink some water and be strong!
