This past weekend I went to a baby shower and well...my gf just posted pics. I AM HUGE Photos don't lie, this is my reality. I definitely don't feel as big as I am in pictures, but it's the truth, I AM that big. *sigh* But, I'd rather have the truth in color than live in my fantasy world.
I have a long way to go, needless to say I'm printing the photos from the shower and carrying them with me to keep me focused! Anyway, just wanted to share!
Here I am as of last week 168 pounds (I don't weigh in until Monday morning):
Here is my goal 130 (pics just before pregnancy #3 & hair chop lol):
I know how it is to see pics and to hate what you see. But you've made so much progress already and will be down to your goal in no time!!! You're very beautiful, don't let this get you down; just use it as motivation.
How old is your little one? My youngest was almost 3 before I realized the "baby weight" wasn't going to come off on its own lol
I think you look beautiful! We're always harder on ourselves, so I do know what you mean. I hate feeling I look one way and seeing myself look different in photos. Good luck getting to your goal
Girl you are not huge! Sometimes what you are wearing can make you look bigger, those jeans look large on you, it looks like you could have worn a smaller pair to be honest.

Thanks hun! My newest addition just turned 4 months on the 23rd of Oct!

You look great in all the photos btw.
I am still wearing my maternity jeans because I cant bring myself to buy jeans that I don't plan on staying in...I have thought about just going and getting a couple of them, maybe regular jeans will make me look better?
I agree with all the above comments, I think you look beautiful in both pics!!! Considering your new baby is 4 months old that's amazing progress in 4 months!!! Keep at it, you'll get there!
I think you look great. And really, for four months post partum? You look freaking awesome! And it looks like you've been working hard and already lost a ton of weight - you'll get to where you want to be soon!
Girl, I'd give a kidney to look as 'big' as you in those first pics. But I know exactly what you mean. I absolutely cannot look at myself in pictures--they look horrible.
I have the same problem with photos and even just looking in the mirror sometimes, until I compare to photos of myself before I started losing weight. Maybe you just need to do a comparison to realise how much hard work you've done so far. You really do look great now, even if you're not to your goal yet. You have a gorgeous smile and I really love your hair. So don't feel discouraged! You've worked really hard so far and just have to keep it up.
