Earlier I posted some less than flattering shots. Now here are a few nicer shots, shots showing me at my best, over the last 5 years. I’m mostly just trying to show full-body shots, as well as outfits I used to wear that I don’t fit into any more. There are many, many more pics, which I’ll post from time to time as inspiration.

OK, that’s all for now. What’s funny about all of these pics is that at the time they were taken, I considered myself already overweight and those clothes too tight. Which I was and which they were! But instead of acting on that, I let it go and gained about 20 lbs. more.

I dress very well and for the most part look good and blah blah blah… Just want to say that I don’t think I have nearly the body image and self esteem problems of most people. I swear my problem is that I think I look much BETTER than I actually DO. I love clothes, love getting dressed up, am confident in showing myself off… but then I see the photos — at least lately — and go “OMG, what was I thinking, I look like such a cow!” Here are a few such pictures. In a couple of them, I *thought* I was looking good, but um, no, not really.

That’s all for now. Maybe later I’ll post the thin (or thinner) pics.
