Lol, everyone seemed to enjoy Pissy Peyton, so I thought I would add a picture of him in action. The tantrum was because he didnt get the movie that he wanted. Oh, hes a special kid!
I have tried and tried all day to change around my blog to fix things, swap out pictures. But it has decided not to cooperate. I cant get rid of the avatar that I uploaded when I joined. No matter what I do..it comes back. (yes, Im hitting save) Websites frustrate me to no extent and this just adds to it.
I was reading peoples blogs and their reasoning for their new life changes, and decided that part of my reasoning is...I want to actually have a family picture that I am proud of, not where I stand out and take up half of the photo. lol...
I think I am slowly learning to love myself. I woke this morning and usually I avoid the mirror at all cost, but I stood there today and was like wow, I can see the changes. And for once, I smiled when looking at myself. It felt awesome. I see the little changes, but when I realized I was smiling at my image, I beamed. I have never been one to think I were attractive or to be known as the pretty one. And yet today, I felt pride...
Have a terrific day!

Hi
I want to get a family pic taken this fall. We have not had one in years and that was a free one done by my church. My DH doesn't sound so happy about it. I think it will be nice.
Way to go Gail! I'm so proud of you! Its not easy at first but just watch its only going to get better. I'm also happy that you weighted yourself and you've lost!!!! WooooHooo! .....but like you said you'll wait for the WI day!!!
Keep up the good work!!! ((((BIG HUGS))))
p.s.- thanks for being a great friend: D....I love your positive attitude. Wish more people could be like you!!
That is a great accomplishment. I'm happy for you. Pride is such a hot commodity.
I understand about the family pic, I had my first one of my little family this past Feb and I have to say I thought they were horrible, mostly becuase of how I looked. I hate having a double chin. It's imortalzing what I don't want to remember. The one thing I'm hoping is that I can look back on it and see how far I've come. That the bigger my son gets, the smaller I get.
I am such a whiny cry baby when things don't go my way!
Girl, I was tearing up when you described yourself this morning.It is so important for us to love ourselves. Realizing your value is so precious.....w/ baby fat or slenderized! Can you believe that my mom used to tell people that I still hadn't lost my baby fat when I was well into my teen years! I'm still using it going into my 40's! LOL
We had a family portrait done too when my son was six weeks old. I though wearing black would camoflauge my lingering baby weight (and pre-baby weight too!)
I'm sure it was just TOM playing with your emotions. I'm glad you're feeling better about yourself. I find that once you start feeling "pretty" and "sexy", it's so much easier to stay on track.
I'm with you on the family portrait thing - I hate having them done and I DETEST how I look in them (no matter what anyone else says). I think I could be stick thin and still hate my pictures. I never look the way I think I do when I look in the mirror. Could it be because the camera adds like 30 lbs? Hmmm...
