Christmas Progess Photos
I just posted a new pic at the URL shown in my sig. It's slightly
different from my usual progress photos in that I didn't take them AS progress photos -- I just happened to take them this year and last and I had used them both in Christmas cards to the family to give with presents. It occurred to me that they are practically identical except for the weight and they are a year apart to the day (if you subtract February 29), so why NOT use them for comparison? A caveat is that I had a great time with PhotoShop, especially in the more recent one, smoothing wrinkles, padding the eyelashes, adding lipcolor and brightening my teeth -- I LOVE PhotoShop :-) I have one of those faces where my "nothing" face looks like I'm frowning even when I'm perfectly content. Because of that, I took photos with increasingly bigger smiles for the most recent one. I was frustrated, so just for the hell of it, I grinned as big as I POSSIBLY could, like a Cheshire Cat, assuming it would look as ridiculous as I felt doing it and, wouldn't you know, THAT'S the one that looks like I merely had a nice, big smile on my face as opposed to, say ..., the CLOWN grin I was jokingly going for :-) In any case, I was 181 lbs in the one on the left and 145 lbs in the one on the right -- I'm so happy with the difference that I AM grinning more often now :-) -- Saffire 205/145/125 - 5'1.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |
