Old pic of me

http://techops.net/gallery/staff03/2002_0709_photo_16

Wow! This is so weird, I barely recognized myself in this pic from 2001.
I know it's me there, with the glasses and long hair, because of the shirt.
I remember that shirt. I thought I looked hot in it. Gawd. I wonder if a
couple of years from now I'll be looking back on this year's pictures the
same way. Ok, that has inspired me. No more cheating and snacking,
damnit. I can totally lose these last 15 - 20 pounds. Damnit.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Big difference to now Michelle.

Yeah, you were definitely in fat girl mode back them. glasses, longish
hair, clothes that seem too big. You've made really big improvements. Even
if you don't lose another pound, you're great.

BTW, what's kicking in the bf department? You should have some guys chasing
you? Play hard to get or just not telling us?

"Before" pictures are important. I have mine on the refrigerator door.

On snacks: I do better with many tiny meals (snacks), rather than having
just normal/large sized meals. On a good day all my meals are 200 to 300
calories each. There are no large meals. In a way, I only eat snacks.

All the guys who approach me are just wrong for one reason or another.

Guy A: Smart, funny, kind. I'm not attracted to him, and he's been married
three times and he has a kid. We're good friends instead.

Guy B: Again, smart and funny. Average looking. But he has a patronizing
sense of humor that makes me want to slap him sometimes.

Guy C: Nice guy, but not too bright, and kind of creepy and intense.
Stands too close and spits on you a bit when he talks about something he's
excited about.

Guy D: Nice, really good looking, but not very smart and also very
religious and I'm not.

Maybe I'm too picky.

Well sure, you've shaved your goatee! Just kidding. I can see why you
barely recognized yourself. In addition to the long hair and the extra
weight, you look like a very young kid in that picture.

Gawd. I wonder if a couple of years from now I'll be looking back on
this year's pictures the same way. Ok, that has inspired me. No
more cheating and snacking, damnit. I can totally lose these last 15
- 20 pounds. Damnit.

I am glad you are inspired. But remember that you don't look as awful in
your "before" picture as you think you do. If you are anything like me, you
are your own harshest critic.

You look so super now! I've seen a bunch of your "before" pix but how much
have you lost so far? I don't think I've seen that in your posts. The last
lbs can be hardest. I remember I never quite reached my goal last time I had
to lose weight (I gained when I had kids but had otherwise kept it off for
years) but I looked so good it didn't matter. I wasn't in a bikini but I was
happy in shorts and could wear sz 8 and some 6. You look great so don't
worry if you don't lose the last 10 - if you do that's terrific but you
should really be proud of yourself.And I like your new hairstyle best so
far!
