November 5th... I have a month and a half until Christmas to feel better than I do now.
We had family photos done this weekend. I was sooo excited Brooke was home and we were finally able to do this! Well, the photographer posted a photo on her facebook page and frankly.... I look like a WHALE! You can really tell I have put on 20+ pounds. It's all in my face and arms. I am extremely discouraged and feel like everyone will look at this and notice. I mean common, you know when you see someone you haven't seen in awhile and you go, "oh wow, they've put on a lot of weight"... Ya, I'm thinking that may be me.
My main encouragement at this point is this picture. I keep looking at it and thinking, "wow, I seriously need to do something about this." This morning my shakes start again!.... again.... I can't help but think that Brooke needs a healthy, happy mom and that my husband deserves a healthy, happy wife.
