I saw a gal (super cute and thin) who I have always really liked and we live in the same small town, but never see each other. We chatted briefly last night while lugging our kids thru town trick or treating.....today she called me and said "I couldn't fall all over you in the street but you look amazing!". So nice that she took the time to call to say congrats! Made my whole day.

So, that got me thinking--I have never posted pix of myself on the board, so here is a brief pictorial before and after (but not to goal yet!)

this is summer 2004(pre band)--with my mom and my sweet boy, Denny:

This pix is December 2004--4 months after banding (I bought the matching Hanna Andersson skirt to match my DH and DS, but I couldn't get my left thigh in it, much less wear it--totally delusional!):

This is recent-Sept 14th with my little boy again! No sleep, no makeup and just after my brother's funeral. Sooo tired, but I like this photo. It's very real to me.
