I’ve been off the wagon and on the wagon and off again so many times. At this point I can’t count the pounds that I’ve lost and gained all over again. I’m not giving up though.
So, I’m back to doing an official weigh-in on Fridays.
This is my “Before” photo. By the way, if you want a particularly unflattering picture of yourself, you should definitely ask someone considerably shorter than yourself to take it. Wow.
So, obviously, the green shirt picture is my “Before” picture. That’s from today. The black shirt picture was my “After” photo from two years ago when I lost most of my baby weight from Isaac. I’ve gained 18 pounds back. My clothes don’t fit and I have not been taking care of myself. I’ve been dealing with my emotions by eating.
Feel free to tune out of Fridays if you’re not interested. Checking in on Fridays helped me with motivation before. I’m hoping it helps again.

I’ll pray specifically for you to not use eating to try to fix your emotions and that you lose those 18 lbs. I’ve been there and know how you feel. But, in all honesty, you don’t look bad at all, so don’t feel ashamed of yourself. You are a very beautiful woman the way you are and we all love you the way you are. That said, I know how frustrating even 18 extra pounds can be.
Love,
Chris
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. I’m not really ashamed of how I look. I just know that I’m headed in the wrong direction. If I saw someone in the store and they were the same height and weight as I am, I would probably think they looked great and that I was WAY bigger than they are
Thanks for the encouragement and accepting me the way I am right now.
