We all love before and after photos don't we? Isn't this cute, I loved this cartoon when I came across it.
O'k, confession time! I've finally done it, I've made it to GOAL!!!!!!! Those final couple of kgs have finally whittled away. Boy were they hard. It was so much easier losing 41kg than it was to lose the last two.But I have done it, last Saturday to be exact. In a since its an anti-climatic, maybe I just need time to get used to the idea. Probably in the back of my mind is the fact that I still want to lose another four kgs to get to my personal goal, still I'm at WW goal. Also, because I am leader in training and it was my leaders last meeting and it was all about her, my LTM (return of LTM as I really made LTM in 1995) it wasn't acknowledged.
Anyway, last night the local paper did a photo shot of my leader and I for a two page spread in this Saturday's paper to let everyone know my leader was retiring and I was taking over. I am still very nervous having my photo taken, and it was very embarrasing in one of our main streets having a photo shot, with everyone leaving work, and coming out of a WW meeting. A lady came running over to me, hugged me, and starting raving on about how wonderful I looked and that I was her favourite and inspiration. Now picture this, I was just standing there talking to reporter and she came out of nowhere and I had never met her before in my life. Can you see shock on my face? The poor lady thought I was from the Biggest Loser, when I got home and shared story with my boys they said at the makeovers one of the contestants had her hair cut like mine. I've had a huge week and haven't seen TV so had no idea. Still very funny. Ok here goes an updated before and after. I cringe at this before shot. I love the dress I am wearing in this photo, one of my Townsville purchases from Cue. A size 10 Veronica Maine in my favourite colour.
