Worst 'Before' Picture Ever

I'm having a lovely quiet Friday night at home all by myself (for the first time in ages), eating paddle pops and catching up on the TV shows in my planner. Then out of boredom I start looking through old photos on my computer and out of nowhere am faced with the most horrific photo of myself I have ever seen. It is so bad it almost took my breath away.

I don't think I knew this photo existed, otherwise I obviously would have deleted it a long time ago. Though I have to admit that it is a pretty accurate representation of how I looked at the time, as hard as it is to admit.

Brace yourself... If you click on it you get to see the large version with pimples and all.

  4. Tully I had a similar experience happen when I 'stumbled' across a photo of myself at my uni graduation. Dress in the regalia (that has no shape) I might have well have been a baby elephant wearing a black tent. I absolutely loathed the photo and the first time I saw it i actually cried. I couldn't believe I looked so horrendeous but for some reason I didn't delete it, and now I am SO glad I didn't, as its a forever reminder of where I was and how far I have come.

    I hope your photo serves to remind you of how far you have come too.

  6. You look amazing!!! You should be so proud of what you have achieved.

    I'm forever looking back at old photos of me and can't believe how big I am (I am big, but photos are different). Videos are worse. I hate being in front of the cameras for that reason.

    Don't worry about that 'old' picture. You will never be back there again.

    You should be very proud of what you have achieved!
