Last Day of Winter!!!

Altho we've had several nice days recently - it'll be nice to officially be spring tomorrow! 

However, this is very pleasant! 

Normally I try to be positive in my posts, but I'm going to stray from that a little bit in this one.  I'm just feeling some sort of way and need to get it off my chest. 

I fell off the WW bandwagon a long time ago and put all the weight back on that I lost back in 2009, plus some.  At one point, I had made it down to 204 lbs, but never crossed over into "One-derland".  

The scale last night said 274.2.

I used to post weekly weight loss updates.  Weight Watchers studios are few & far between now, but mine still has a Tuesday evening workshop so I'll be going back to doing Weigh-in Wednesday posts.  You've been warned!   

And of course, we can't forget all the various random aches & pains that go along with it.  

 

Let's look at a pic that someone took during Wilderness First Aid training last Saturday...

OMG.

That's me over on the left. 

In my defense, this is part of a panoramic photo and I was on the end, so it's distorted somewhat. 

But it makes me look rather elephant-like. 

I was horrified when I saw that. 

Here's a pic from a different angle.  

Still large but not quite as awful. 

Let's look at some more.  

Bear with me - this is my incentive to get back to actually following the Weight Watcher's plan and not coasting along like I've been doing for too long.

Last summer at the VFW picnic.  

The granddaughter still isn't big enough to hide those rolls.

Even in my winter search gear I look huge!

I was wearing fluffy snow pants, tho.

My shadow is even unforgiving. 

So yeah,  That's where I'm at.  

I sure don't FEEL as big as I look in pictures! 

Even in the mirror I acknowledge that I'm by no means thin, but pictures show no mercy at all! 

And you know what - seeing other people (like the Spouse or other acquaintances) who are larger doesn't bother me at all.  I don't make snide remarks to myself about them, but I sure do about myself!
