August 1996: I met my best friend and husband. I was 16, he was 17! High school sweethearts, if you will, well from 2 different high schools, but anyway….
July 2000: We get married! :) I got a little chubby at college so I lost a little weight before the wedding….like 50lbs…no big deal. Just a little diet of nothing but grilled chicken and raisin bran for a few months! :) But hey! I looked like this on our honeymoon in Bora Bora:
I was 20 and weighed about 130lbs here. I can NOT tell you the feeling I have when I look at these pictures. I stare at them and try to remember what if feels like to be this beautiful tan girl with a tan stomach. No matter how long I look at them…that's just not me anymore. I feel like I would literally let someone take off my right arm to make my body look like this again. I can’t believe that a person can go from being so normal looking to being so very over weight…obese actually. Awesome. Moving right along…
January 2001: We get pregnant…correction- I get pregnant. I loved it. I felt like I was MADE for it! I was so happy and so hungry! LOL I had a very normal uneventful pregnancy and at 9 months I looked like this:
Now just to be clear, that is only about 15 months after the honeymoon! What a difference, huh? I weighed around 200lbs here. And that was that. I never saw my old body again. EVER. I got pregnant again:
2005:
And again:
2009:
Never losing more then 30 lbs here or there afterwards, and all the while saying I needed to lose the ‘baby weight,’ but steadily gaining 5lbs here and 10lbs there. Which brings us to :
September 2011:
And there you have it. My rock bottom. Or top if you’re talking the high number on the scale that shall remain unnamed…until maybe one night I’ll be working on my blog with a little too much wine and get the nerve to post it…..
Gross.
