A feast of 'before' photos - Egypt and Greece 2007







Wow, hard to look at now. But looking at this selection of photos (and trust me, there are much much worse) really makes me realise how far I've come. Lately I've been realising that my mind hasn't been catching up with my body. When I look in the mirror and at recent photos, I still manage to see the fat girl staring back. What's worse is that I've made my now size 10 clothes 'fat' in my mind! If they fit me, they must be huuuge! That's the mindset I'm still in.
But the above photos help me realise how different I am now. I'm ashamed and embarrassed to look at these photos, but hey - who am I kidding?! Anyone who saw me two years ago would have seen exactly this! I wasn't hiding it, even though I thought I was.
I will just have to have another trip to Egypt again to re-take these photos with the new me.
The good news is that I now weigh the same as the girl pictured with me in the last photo - honestly, that's the only way I can objectively understand the difference. I remember thinking how skinny she was then - if only I could think the same for myself now!
