Self Esteem be Damned! New Progress Pics.
Posted in Janie Banter, Progress Pictures, Things that are Happy, Weigh-in Results on 05/27/2009 01:25 pm by JanieHullo again. I realize that I wrote to you last night stating that I was too afraid to show you any progress pics because I am sortof self conscious about my hanging body fat. Swing batta batta! Anyway, this morning I stepped on the scale SIX TIMES because I was trapped in a realm of disbelief. The scale read…get ready for it. 241. TWO FOURTY FRICKING ONE. Somehow in my insane novel writing last night and the tea that kept me up til 4:30am, I lost two more pounds. What the h-bloody-ell? Whatever. I am taking it. My penance for being so lame and not showing you progress pictures, is of course, to show you progress pictures. So i got up, got dressed, put on some face (cause uhm, dudes it’s the morning) and posed away for the camera.
Two things that I am noticing about this batch. No wonder the chick at the plus size store thought I was pregnant. I DO LOOK PREGNANT! Sigh. But it’s like a 1st trimester pregnant and not a 3rd at least, AND…and and…it’s cause of that hanging inner tube that I have mentioned before - so I have bravely pulled it out in the last picture to show you exactly what I have to deal with. I realize that it’s incredibly embarrassing to show you one’s roll of fat in all its glory - but this blog is real and real dictates that I must pull out my fat to show you the truth of the matter. Losing weight rapidly as I have done over the past 6 months (yes it’s almost been that long, folks!) changes the way your skin holds your chunk. This is why they offer the tummy tuck in Canada for free if you’ve lost 100 pounds in a year, because we Canadians value these sort of things. Yes, cut back on Needle Exchange programs because of lack of funding, but pay for a bunch of tummy tucks because flat tummies are essential for the betterment of mankind.)**
**actually it’s cause the fatter people of this world can get nasty rashes under their loose skin, and that can lead to skin complications.
ANYway - I will get to the juices.
Peace out! <3

You looking fucking awesome Janie!!! Am I allowed to swear?! Bah! I don’t care! I’m so excited for you that the need to swear is essential!
I have an inner tube too, good thing it’s summer and Ill be swimming a lot, perhaps mine will keep me afloat
Good on you! Keep up the good work!!

aw thanks cheryl! You can swear all you wish. Since your innertube comes from giving birth, you will most likely lose it with all that swimming

Thank you Jen and Molly! Sometimes when I look at the progression pics I can’t believe it is the same top because it looks so different! But if I look close enough I can see that bleach stain and I know
I can’t wear that pants anymore than I wore from months 1-5 because they are too big and make me look frumpy

Thank YOU susan! I don’t really know if it’s been hard work, more like hard emotions haha, but i’ll take it! Love you!

I can’t believe how amazing you look! You have done such a fantastic job in such a short period of time. I bet you’re feeling a lot better eh? And the role really isn’t that noticeable. And With only - what was it, 13 pounds? - left to go, you should have no problem with getting a tummy tuck paid by yours truly, the tax payers
We have to get back together when I return.

Umm… I don’t know where you got your info about free tummy tucks, but in OHIP stopped paying for tummy-tucks about two years ago. I lost 180 lbs and my abdominoplasty cost about six grand!

Oh really? Hmm, my doctor said they still offered it. I am not too concerned to be honest, or shocked. Thanks for the heads up!
