Ok, this is hard to post and very hard to look at.  This picture was taken at the beginning of 2015 while I was teaching an Italian Cooking Class.  As you can see, I’m looking pretty plump.  Now I am only 5’2″ so any extra weight is hard to carry and get away with.  I look like a little Italian Mama Mia.  I would rather look like “Mama Mia, she looks good”.  There’s a difference right?  It’s important to post this so you will be able to see my results and so I can be reminded of my extra weight.  Pictures of yourself are a great motivational tool when you are overweight.  Take out those pictures and look at them and remember this is what the world sees.  Temporarily of course because that is going to change. 😊
