My MIL had asked me some time ago for a photo of myself (on the classic glossy paper) to frame and put with the rest of her family photos on her space saver. This morning, after remembering I had a pack of 5x5 glossy paper, I printed the only selfie I took this year (I dont take selfies but I had to take one and print for my son's Social Studies notes on International Women's Day). I gave it to her and she was so so happy. She framed it and stood it up straight away.
Let me preface this part by saying my husband is a really good man. He is very kind and hardworking, takes care of me when I'm ill, provides, listens - ALMOST the whole package (hey! Nobody's perfect!).
He saw the picture I printed and asked me why I chose that one. I told him that's the most recent picture I have of myself and I happen to like it very much (which is rare). He proceeds to access his Google Drive from his phone and pulled up a picture of me, in early 2016, when I had not so many grey hairs, I was definitely pretty and close to my GW (ironic, back then I thought I was ugly and fat). I told him MIL already framed the picture I printed and she was very thankful.
I said all of that to say this: his actions got me thinking. I may be wrong but he may be thinking that I still had that weight and size. Can't help the grey hairs (grey hairs spring early in my family) but it definitely gave me the wake up call I needed. I have been consistently exercising for about 3 weeks now after being "dormant" for months and gaining weight due to depression and steroids, and adjusted my eating but this has given me that push to really get more serious and dial in on my eating and push myself during my workouts. I posted on here yesterday, I think about going to my doc and not losing any weight and some redditors really gave me some useful advice.
So here I am again, for the millionth time, on a serious mission to get back to my GW of 145lbs.
