That hideous spider picture symbolizes my "last straw" so to speak. I took one glance at this photo and shuddered in disgust. Look at my stomach. It appears as though I may give birth to a sac of baby spiders.
Why am I dressed like a spider you ask? In Texas, public schools celebrate Red Ribbon Week to encourage students to "Say no to drugs!" Fortunately for me last year's theme, Drugs Bug Me, fulfilled my lifelong dream of dressing as the Roly Poly Spider...not really.
Long story short, my class donned spider outfits and paraded around the school for the "Drugs Bug Me" rally. Just between you and me...if given a choice, I prefer ladybugs. Since red is my signature color and looks fabulous with my skin tone, a ladybug costume might have been more flattering. No, on second thought, me wearing a big red ladybug costume brings the image of the Kool-Aid dude to mind...
Ha ha ha! Kool aid man... lol.
ReplyDeleteI love reading you.
You are a brave woman to post a "last straw" picture. I have my last straw picture in my head...it was when I caught a glimpse of the back of my things in the mirror...yep, that was my last straw.
ReplyDeleteYour 2009 pic is fabulous (btw)
lol great post, great pics! We all have a last straw moment..mine is that close up of my face on my blog- my skin was so tight it hurt...nuff said! :)
ReplyDeleteAw, I like your spider costume--it's very good!

LOL - oh, no, not Kool Aid Man! I'm amazed at your before and after pics - you look like a whole new woman!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making the decision to lose weight! I with you on the whole WW repeat offender, I just haven't gotten the ambition to go back again.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your SITS day.

ReplyDeleteKudos to you for being brave enough to make a change!
