New Pics! OMGosh!!!

HI all! I got 18 rolls of film developed this weekend (yeah, the guy at Walgreens was not happy with me). Well, I found the roll that I took pre-op, right before going in to surgery. Oh my gosh, I was in serious "big girl denial". I also scanned a pic of my hubby, daughter, and I from our vacation to Florida (at Disney). Isn't Bailey cute with her little tiara? Take a look at my profile to see them. Darlene

WOWSERS Hot Momma!!! You're so flippin Teeny Tiny. I would have never guessed that you'd ever been "big". It's an AMAZING comparison. You, Dar - are MY INSPIRATION. I want to look like you one day!!

Tiny?.....NOT! But I am approaching normal. I still want to lose 30 more pounds though. You are my inspiration! I do not know how you juggle it all: work, kids, house, PLUS working out 2-3 hours per night. You are superwoman! I can't keep it all together & I only work part-time. Dar

You look so good!! You are absolutely stunning!!! I can't believe you have any more weight to lose!! Your daughter Bailey is precious, I bet she had a blast!!

Thanks hun. It's all smoke and mirrots because I need to lose another 30 pounds to feel comfortable I would say 40 more, but Megan might shoot me. Bailey celebrated her 5th birthday at Disney & was treated like a "princess" all day. It is a magical place! Dar

Woo Hoo! Look how awesome you look! Darlene, you were gorgeous in your before pictures too! You are a very pretty lady! And your whole family is beautiful! I would love, love, love to get down to your size!!! You look amazing! Deanna

Thanks Deanna. You are so sweet. I was just reading your profile & your last post expressed exactly how I feel. In my mind I feel big still, but people do treat you different. I have actually had doors shut right in my face before & now guys are waiting on me to catch up while they hold the door. Isn't that crazy. I love not having to eyeball the booth anymore to try to grab the side with the biggest clearance between me & my tummy. I love my family. My 2 boys went deep sea fishing that day. That's why they aren't in the picture. Dar

Your pictures are awesome. They are the only ways WE really know what we look like ya know? I am so glad you found some old pictures. Rachael

You are so right. My mind messes with me too.

You LOOK DAMN GREAT!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooo jealous!!!
