My Own Personal Enemy

Is... Myself, well my weight. Derek asked me why I used an old picture as my "icon pic" and truthfully the answer is because I'm ashamed of the way I look now and wish I looked that way again!

I have decided that if I publicly put myself out there maybe I'll be more motivated to change. Yes, I do look at my situation like, "It took 9 months to put on; so, it should take 9 months to remove" but I'm already 1/4 of the way there and have GAINED weight since our 6 week pp check-up!! I also figure that if you are reading this you love me for me and I can't deny my weight issues and you already know I have them.

So if you give me shit for looking the way I do after having a baby then I will come to your house and cut your feet of in your sleep :P

Ugh- I just FEEL awful and can't stand it anymore so lo-and-behold a photo montage of the many looks of Evie:

I think this is the heaviest I have ever been - 2004 - (and the longest my hair has ever been). The beginning of my first big weight loss (for our wedding) this was May 07 - at John and Caroline's wedding. ALSO what I hope to look like again!
I had lost 35 pounds at this pointJuly 07 - Still wanted to lose another 30 but never happened.

AFTERMATH!

  1. Making your goals public is definitely a good way of holding yourself accountable. With everyone's encouraging comments, it will make it easier for you. So, I say GO FOR IT. You can get right back to where you were. And you know erin can help you with nutrition and working out if you need it. :)

  2. You know we all love you no matter what you look like :) That being said, I know how hard it is to constantly struggle with weight -- any support we can offer, just let us know :)
