Arms....

I have a hate/hate relationship with my arms.  It all started when in 9th grade when I was 5'9" and probably about 135 lbs, and cute boy came up to me and started squeezing my arms.  He made some snarky remark about how big they were.  From then on, I hated them.  Truth be told, my the women in my family all have fairly flabby chunky arms in comparison to the rest of their body....regardless of if they have a weight problem or not.  So the cards were stacked against me from the start..and now, they are the size of the western hemisphere! I am looking forward to at least getting them back to a respectable when I hit my goal weight.  I will dig up the best arm picture that I ever took and post it this week.  It was halloween 1996, I was 22 and weighed about 140.  While I don't think I will get that low again, I want to use that picture as my arm inspiration.

Today was another good day...I am on a roll.  I did cheat and get on the scale early.  I am down 2.5 lbs in 5 days!! I love the beginning of a diet and the weight comes off so easy!

Here are a few more pics of my infamous Yo Yo Past.  The Before pic is the day I started Weight Watchers for the first time in 2004.  The After was about 7 months later...WOW...that is all I can say when I look back at these.  What a difference 68 lbs makes!
