This is what I looked like the day we arrived in Australia. This photo was taken by my in-laws on a regular camera, so I took a photo of the photo, so you could see it. Sorry for the poor quality. :/ Not a full body shot, but you can tell how big I had gotten. I look at that picture and cringe. I can not believe how much weight I had gained.
This is me after losing 23 lbs! I still would like to lose another 20, I just have to chat with my Body as to where to lose it. The conversation will go something like this:***** If you are male, although I don't think I have any male readers, you probaly should stop reading now. Just trust me. You don't want to read the rest of this post! :) *******************
Patricia: Hey Body, about those last 20 lbs...
Body: yes???
Patricia: Well, the thing is, my boobs are shrinking at an alarming rate and I would rather not lose any more weight from there... My bum and thighs though, the next few pounds could come from there. And after that, maybe a couple of pounds off the hips? What do you think??
Body: No. You're losing weight. Don't complain about where you are losing it. As for your boobs, that happens when you say what a curse they were when you were 12. The only just punishment is to have a smaller set at 25 than you did at 12. It's life.
Patricia: Well, I guess I have gotten to know an entire new section of the lingerie department. I didn't realize how many different types of padded, push-up bras there were!

You look FANTASTIC!! I am so jealous--I really need to try harder at the weight loss thing.
WooHoo! Of course, I've already cheered you a few times on this count, but WooHoo, just for good measure.
I wish you luck with that little conversation you had with your body. You'll have to keep me posted on how well that works out for you. It works, and I'll have the same little chat with mine.
ROFL@the boob thing. Don't you wish you could pick? So what did you do to lose the weight? You look great. You didn't look like you had gained that much when I saw you at the MNO at the Student Union that night. YOu must have put on the weight pretty fast?
Well, you look fantastic - congratulations!
You look amazing!!!
Dead sexy, Mama!
