I found myself just staring at my new avatar this morning, thinking wow is that really me? Do I really look cute? I am having a hard time believing that that is really me. I also noticed that my face is now almost the same shape as my sisters' faces...WooHoo!

Thanks! I am not sure why I am having such a difficult time with it today, but I am. Hopefully I can get my mind to wrap itself around that idea of seeing a different person in the mirror and in pictures.

No, this is not vain at all... Its simply being in amazement of the changes in ourselves. I know I am finding I am getting awed about the changes in my body. Like wow, my shoulders are squaring not rounded. my hips are not bulging like the use to.. things like that.. I believe its learning to love and appreciate ourselves. Keep going.

I am not short... I am fun sized!!

I have been doing the same thing. I put a before and then my 4 month pictures next to each other and looked at all of the differences...I was amazed at how my body really had no shape before and now I have curves!
