today I spent the day with my (deceased dad's) side of the family at a mini family reunion. Of course all my cousins couldn't make it but one did and all my dad's siblings and spouses were there. Yes of course it evolved around food. We went to the Cracker Barrel of all places. Sheesh, what do I order and not worry about getting stuck, lol. I ordered catfish and 1 side and it was yummy but I could only eat half of the piece of fish and brought the rest home. Now you are wondering about my title, body image, we as a family took lots of pics and as usual I hate my pic, I look so dang fat in it. Even after 72 lbs lost I feel like a freakin cow in this pic. Maybe its what I was wearing Idk but I hated all the pics from my short hair which by the way is thin and falling out so I had to cut it off right down to how fat I looked. Anyway fun was had by all today, lots of laughs and many stories told to me by my daddy's brothers when they were kids that I had never heard. Pic attached. I'm wearing the teal sweater and my mom is also wearing a teal sweater but she has on a denim jacket.

You look phenomenal!!! What an inspiration you are to the rest of us! (I really like your hair too, by the way). I do think you need to start showing off your new slimmer figure though...no more cowl neck, loose boxy sweaters. It is tough to let those types of clothes go, I know, but do it! I still go to try on something and hold it up and look at it and think, 'this is never gonna fit!' And when it does I am shocked...every. single. time. Take pride in your new, healthy body...

thank you guys, and you crack me up too, I can't wear something skin tight, oh my but I get where you're coming from and yes my size 22 jeans are getting too big in the legs, woohoo and NO MORE boxy sweaters...I need to be elected to see Stacey and Clinton on What Not to Wear...bhahahaha.

Size 22?!? No way!!!! You definitely do NOT look like you should be wearing a size 22....
