Photo time?

I wasn't very comfortable being photographed at my wedding (3.5 years ago) because I was fatter than I wanted to be. When I saw the pictures, I realised that I was even fatter than I thought I was. Since then, I've appeared in photographs, but pretty unwillingly. Last December was another such period in my life. I had a reunion to attend and I was fatter than I thought I was. This showed up very clearly in the photographs from the event and was part of my motivation for losing weight as well.

20th April 2011 will be 3 months since I started down this path and today I'm wearing clothes that are a smaller size than I've worn in the past few years. I'm also wearing 3 layers, and still don't look like the clothes are painted on. In short, the weight loss is obvious and apparently healthy as I'm able to lead an otherwise full life. Now, I want to be photographed, preferably wearing the clothes I was last photographed in, so I can see the difference for myself :)

I met a couple of friends last weekend. Friends who've seen me in January and December and apart from the weight loss, they noticed that my skin is glowing. I've always had a fairly good complexion, but for the past few weeks, I've noticed myself that it seems clearer and more elastic. In short, the body can really tell when the living is healthy. And given that I have the time and the means, why not indulge the body for a few years (as it has indulged me thus far).
