My Thanksgiving in Pictures.

We had a great day! Actually it was a great week! My brother flew in on Monday and you know what they say when you have fun...yep, times flies! It was a FAST week, but filled with lots of love and laughs. :) Yesterday's fun included my brother's partner Skott who flew in on Wednesday to join us. Steve and Skott just became engaged and I could not be happier for them. :) It was wonderful to have them here for the holiday. My brother's oldest friend, Justin also came over to join us. So here is our day filled with Wii bowling, bocce, horseshoes, card throwing, food, and LOTS of fun. :)

Oh! Since this is a blog about my weight loss journey and yesterday was a holiday that is centered around food- my dinner plate is included in the pictures. I planned a plate 2 weeks ago at my WW meeting filled with 12 points of food- and stuck to the plan. The only addition was a bite of corn casserole that Skott made and I wanted a bite of. :) Check out how yummy my Weight Watcher's pumpkin pie looks! YUM!

There ya go! That is a lot of photo sharing huh? lol I think I've made a body image breakthrough FINALLY! I uploaded the pictures last night and with each picture of myself I always pick at some part of my body making comments on what is still wrong with me. But last night I actually thought I looked pretty good. lol I know that comment sounds like I am full of myself but it is SO not like me. There is always a picture that I delete or crop because of my butt, thighs, arms or belly. Not this year! It is the first time that I looked at photos of myself and liked what I saw. :)

Just went to see what pictures I had from 2007 Thanksgiving. This is the week before I started Weight Watchers 213lbs. I have no full body shots - no shocker to me.





I feel like one of those old ladies that sit down on the couch with you and show you family photos for hours, no matter how boring it might be to you! lol Sorry...just wanted to share my fun day. :) I hope all of you had as much fun as I did. Today is filled with laundry and cleaning- not so fun!

Have a great day everyone! BYE! :) Pin It

    The difference a year makes is fantastic isn't it. I can't wait for May of 2010. Your food looked good and horseshoes rock. You always look happy, which is nice to see. You seem like an optimist. I decided to be an optimist last year. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
