Thank you Facebook Timehop

There's a lot of passionate language in this post.

I mentioned in my last post that Facebook Timehop was kind enough to remind me of my last weight loss journey years ago.

While that picture is a great reminder that I was successful at this before, and am still a long way from how fat I was before - the picture on the left is incredibly upsetting.  I fucking hate that picture.

The story of the picture of the fat girl on the left

I was going to a concert that night.  I can't even remember who the headliner was but I was really excited to see Adelita's Way.  I'd seen them open at several other shows and had grown to love them.  I was particularly hot for the semi-nerdy-ish guitarist.  To my delight - they were having a free meet & greet after the show.

I remember getting dressed and putting on that green shirt.  I looked in the mirror and confirmed to myself "damn, I look pretty good!".

Holy shit.  Seriously girl?  WTF were you thinking.  

1. Why the hell would you get that haircut?  I'm ashamed to admit that haircut started as the Kate Gosselin haircut. In this picture it actually looks 187% better than it did initially.  No wonder my husband-at-the-time looked at me crazy when I came home with that haircut.  For all his faults, at least he was too nice to tell me I looked fucking ridiculous.

2. I'm not sure why I was wearing glasses.  Maybe I was out of contacts?  There's several pictures of me at this weight in glasses.  I can only assume my fingers were too fat to reach into the contact holder and get them out.

3. Look at my arm.  I had cropped out just my arm to post here but it was too graphic.

But I digress...

Back to that night.  The guys from Adelita's Way were out after the show meeting fans.  I looked "damn good" and was about to meet that cute guitarist.

Here's the whole picture:

He looks like he's afraid I'm going to eat him.

I was so proud of this picture.

I hate this fucking picture.  I used keep it on my phone to remind me to stop fucking eating but deleted it when I couldn't stand to look at it any longer.

Well then, I think that's enough of that.
