Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
It was good to watch the old trip but at the same time it was eye opening to see that I was so wrong about my body image when I used to look at pics from that timeframe. You're right too, we were both about the same weights then that we are now but we do have a lot more muscle tone and I think that makes the difference. However, I am not delusional enough to think that there won't be future time where we look at pics of ourselves as we are now and have the same eye opening again. It just happens but in a way it's a good thing when you can finally see yourself the way others see you.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's totally in the way I hold the weight now. My face and upper body were much heavier than they are now but my legs are much bigger now than they were then. I looked more proportionate back then even if it was fat all over. So weird. I remember seeing pics from that trip and thinking "if I could only look like that again" and now I don't want to!
DeleteI don't think I have a single picture that doesn't make me cringe. No... I think I have 3 that don't horrify me. Otherwise every picture I have of myself looks like a mug shot. Seriously, I don't photograph well at any weight.
ReplyDeleteRecoil indeed! I never, ever think I look as bad as I do until I see myself on film. I'm far bigger and my head looks like this little pin on top of a potato. And I never realized how I have virtually no defined neck because my face is so fat. It's like when I look in the mirror I see "some" of that, but the reality is so much different when I see it in pictures.
