Talking That's me?! WHAT?!

My husband and I have a digital camera and when we first got it he recorded two videos of me. I refused to watch them because I was sure I looked like horrible in them. One I didn't even know he was taking and I was getting dressed... so it exposed my legs and booty (I was wearing a shirt).

Today I was unloading the camera and didn't kn ow what the videos were of so I watched them and... whoa. I don't look half bad! I'm shocked! I don't weigh anymore now than I did in those videos... I'm in utter disbelief that it is actually me on those videos!

Talk about a boost in self esteem. I've been feeling really bad about myself lately and this has just given me so much motivation to do what's healthy for my body.

Very Funny how sometimes it takes something like this to see what we really look like. I kinda wish I hadn't hidden from the camera for all those years.
