This is update on Meaghan is about her reaction to a photo she found of herself before starting Julie's program. I added this to
Meaghan's hero story, but it is buried back a in the July 2013 posts and I want to make sure everyone can see this update.
This "before" photo really hit home and struck a chord with me. I
would never take a side view photo. This photo is actually of two of my
kids in a sandbox and somehow I got in the camera frame...ha! But now,
what a great comparison. And my sister said it would make a great weight
loss ad. I got a good chuckle out of that -- you know, the ones you see
on TV and say, "that is SO not the same person!" But it is. I swear.
And I will now post it on my fridge and pillow...and mirrors...and
cabinets...lol!

I know all about not wanting profile shots taken of me. I'm only about halfway to my goal and the picture in the mirror isn't changing as drastically as it did in the beginning, but the fact that progress is occurring is beyond dispute. I caught a glimpse of my profile in a store window last weekend and it occurred to me for the first time that the belly is really getting smaller now. It's those moments - just like finding this old picture - that reaffirm that what we're doing is worth it, that it works, and that the results, over time, are easy to gauge.
ReplyDeleteNow that is some difference! You don't even look like the same woman.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your success. How long have you been on the program?
Meaghan started the summer of 2011.
