Re: Posted my pics

Hi Kanala, thanks for sharing your photos with all of us. Without the

before pictures, I can't tell how far you've come, but girl you're

looking pretty hot right now. No cellulite?? How did you do it?? I

can't wait until I'm able to throw on a pair of jeans, with a short

little leather jacket. Sigh...a girl can dream can't she? lol

Keep up the great work, and don't lose that bright rosey smile. I

can't wait to see your accomplishments in the near future. If you ever

decide to post the interview here in the group, I'll be one of the

first one's to check it out. Great job!!

thanks for the compliments. I didnt' post the interview because 1.

i'd have to type it all out and 2. I wasn't sure if any one would be

interested. As for a before picture, I'd have to scan something and I

don't have a scanner. Maybe someday I'll do that. (and you know what?

I can push my tummy out quite a bit to look like I " m several months

pregnant, still! LOL)

So since you asked, lol, here it is. It's short, but to the point.

The article was a 2 page spread with 3 photos (the other one was me

walking away from the camera, blurred for effect) with the article on

top of one of the pics.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" After my pregnancy years ago I felt big. I would look in the mirror

and all I could see was belly and chubby legs. My pants were tight

and sometimes it was hard to breathe. Then last year there were

aspects of a relationship that I didn't have any power over and I

realized that I could control my body and what I put into it.

I got rid of chips, ice cream and buttery popcorn (my downfall) and

started eating more fruits and vegetables. With the help of some of

my friends from chatelaine.com forums, I started to run. My pants

began to get baggy so I went out and bought over $200 on four pairs

of jeans and seven tops. I was giddy for 2 days.

I'm single now and I'm not looking to someone else for affirmation. I

pull out my mental list of positive points. My calves are nice and

firm from all the walking I've done all my life. My boobs are droopy

because I've lost 35 lbs but they hold special meaning because they

nursed my babies. I'm glad I was confident enough to get my body back

on track. Now when I look in the mirror I think, " damn, I look good! "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note: Spent $200 US in Detroit, found some great shops and I bought

more than mentioned - about 3 bras, a couple of sweaters, etc. The

prices in the states are to die for!!! May go back in the next week

or two so dtr's can buy some clothing for school (college and U)

Hi Sandy, thanks for posting the article. Depending on what your ex-

husband weighs, now that you're single, you can add his poundage to

your weight loss. lol

If your boobs are droopy after losing 35 lbs, mine are sure to touch

my toes after losing all my fat and having children. Oh well, at least

I'll be able to see my toes. LOL

meh, I think everyone's boobs droops over time. I did lose weight in

them as well, requiring smaller cup bras.

As long as they look good in a bra or fitted bikini, I'll be content.
