They Used to Call me Fat

I just dont understand it. These are some pics of me from High School and a couple of extra's. You tell me... Was I?

Mine and My Soul Sister's B-Day Celebration, I was 16 and in a size 12 (she turned 17)

Military Ball (I was in JROTC) Junior Year

Me in 1999 in a Size 14... that is going to be awesome to be there again.

I dont know... I look back at these pictures and I remember a time when people would tell me I was fat. I think maybe a few pounds (no more than 10) over my ideal in High School. What is up. I was even told I had a pretty face if I was only thinner. Why tell a young girl these things?

Never the less, I will be there again and I cannot wait.... I am down 43lbs. That rocks!!!

Some More of Before

These Pics were Taken during a Women in Aviation Outing. My friend is a member and I tagged along with her. I have to say it was a blast and I hope I can go again this year. My weight in these pics is 279. With out further ado...

This one is me at the weather navigation place. I don’t remember exactly what it is called but that is where the pilots get there weather information. Pretty cool we got a little tour and I think the three of us showing up made their day. :)

The next one will be of me in a small airplane sitting in the pilot’s seat. I was a wanna be pilot (who is scared to death to fly). It was pretty fun.

And finally this was me sitting with my friend in the all mahogany interior private plane this plane was awesome and truly a way to travel in style.

The before pics were taken but I don’t have them with me tonight to add to the page. I will get them up soon.
