before pics....

Here are a couple of shots taken last week. I have always felt like "I carry my weight well." Ha! What a joke. Nobody looks good at nearly 280 pounds. I hate being in pictures. As a result, there are very few photos of me with my kids. Growing up, my mom never liked her weight in photos and so I have nearly no pictures with my own mom. I have always hated that. One of these days, she won't be here and I have so little photographic history of her. And what am I doing? The exact same thing to my children. Grrr... Even more reason to change our legacy now.
