AW'ing just because I can at almost 5 years out.

 I bought a new mirror for my bedroom.     I have not had a full-length mirror in a house I've lived in for four years, and it's so nice to finally have one.   I used to have to stand on a chair to see what I looked like in something.    My mom wanted me to send her a picture of the new mirror (they live 4.5 hours away and really enjoy the progress we've made on restoring DH's grandparents house) so I was upstairs taking some pics, and while I was snapping away, thought to myself, "Self, you don't look too half ass bad for an old broad of 50, in her yoga pants, without plastic surgery."   I still can't believe, that despite my sometimes shameless eating style, that I have maintained the same weight for all these years.   

Anyway, here's the mirror (and a pretty **** poor picture of me at approximately 122-125 lbs):

Well, I'm not so sure I'm amazing, beautiful or inspirational, but I am proof that the DS WORKS!

You are definitely all of the above!
Looking at that pic it's hard to believe you were ever overweight. 
I can hardly wait to see my own after pics.

Hey Honey, you always blow me away at just how tiny you are!! Love those pants too, they fit you so well!! Your post got me thinking that I don't own a full length mirror either!Mmmm wonder if that is a hang up for alot of us from the old days before our DS!!

I might just have to remedy that and buy one this weekend!!
Love ya honey!

 Pffft Yorkie, you ain't hardly bigger than a sprite yourself.
I had a full wall mirror in my old house downstate, pre-DS, and I HATED that thing.     I still have a fear of two things, mirrors and scales, but it's taken my almost five years to actually look at myself in the mirror and say that I don't look half bad.      It's a slow process for sure!

Julie,

You are so tiny and looking awesome.   You deserve to AW anytime you want.  Love the mirror.
