Pictures of Me

I’m going to try this again. I attempted to post some pictures yesterday, and couldn’t get them on.

They’re pictures of me from 2006, but I think I’m at about the same weight now as I was back then. (I was avoiding the scale at that point because I didn’t want to see just how much I’d gained. Scale avoidance is how I gained back 70 of the 105 pounds I’d lost on Atkins. I knew I was putting on weight — but preferred to bury my head in the sand.)

They were taken in July, during a visit to my brother’s in Washington, D.C.

This is me at the National Zoo. It was hot, I was sweaty ... but at least I was putting steps on the pedometer!

I'm standing in front of George Washington's home, Mount Vernon, in my size 16 shorts.
