Fat Face

If you read my blog regularly, you know that I struggle with my weight. I'm about 20 pounds lighter today than I was this time last year. On a girl that is barely 5'4'', those 20 pounds make a big difference. It's funny because this time last year, I knew I was heavier than I wanted or needed to be, but I didn't think it was that bad.


Oh yes it was! Jason and I were looking through pictures from our Costa Rica trip (May 2010) and I was SHOCKED out how big I looked. I had major "love" handles going on and I had HUGE tree trunk legs. Even Jason, who always compliments and reassures me, was shocked at how different my legs look today versus the vacation pictures...which I will be burning later today. I even got a compliment the other day, from someone other than my mom or husband, that my legs looked toner.

When I am heavier, it really shows in my face.  Look at these pictures below take exactly 1 year apart. Maybe it's just me being obsessive, but I think my face looks a lot thinner today. Yes, it makes me feel good, but it also makes me cringe at how horrible I used to look! Oh and my hair is a lot longer...score! Although lately I've been wanting to cut it...
