the one where i wince.

and hide and cower and look away.

this is me. today.

this is far from who i've ever been.

i weigh more now than i ever did pregnant.

it makes me sad.

it makes me shift in my chair.

and i can't believe i am sharing.

i also didn't have any makeup on and it was post workout and right after i ate...and excuse, excuse, excuse.





and so i don't leave you frightened with that. here is one of e when i was trying to get the self timer to work.

  1. You are so brave!! I am joining you, my friend. I'm on the road as we speak but I will be doing this. I desperately need some accountability and the ability to put me out there, no holds bar, with a forum for constructive criticism and encouragement. I bought a workout game for our kinect and the peanut gallery and I will be working through it very soon. <3 you!!

    Ps. you can do it!!!

  3. I did this the other day - though not on film. I had been avoiding mirrors, doing my hair, etc. I couldn't handle looking at how much weight i gained. I feel completely unattractive, have no energy (what am i, 100?!), and my dad just found out he has diabetes - along with both my gmas and mom. Soooooo - enough is enough, and I am also heavier than I have ever been.

  4. As soon as baby #4 joins us, I will be joining you. Although I am pregnant, I weight more now than I ever have and that scares me (and makes me sad). Like you I want to be the girl Jason married. I almost hate getting dressed in front of him because I imagine him thinking to himself how disgusting I look. I know he isn't and he knows the pregnancies have added some weight, but it is still hard. You are so brave for what you are doing!

  5. Mine are very similar to yours. I'm in a 12 jean and I even have to do the "sqeeze into my jeans' dance to get them on.
    Where could I post them to share with you?
