Fat days....

Just read a great post from Kenz about a un-flattering photos and how we tend to get rid of them! I know that EVERY SINGLE one you of out there has either torn up a photo or deleted it before anyone else saw it! So, in reflection of this, here are some of the most unflattering photos that I can find of myself! I did have a little bit of a struggle to find photos that still existed, hence the photos with babies!


Leaving Hospital with Laura - April 2003. I would have been about 95kg! I was over 100kg before I gave birth!
Same year (03), in December! Look at my arms!!!
Just after I had Hugh... I was very happy how much smaller I was after Hugh then Laura! Still 90 odd kg!
Look at my arms!
My official FAT photo! I thought that I looked great - Christmas day 04 - 90kg??

I have question marks with my weights as I never went on scales for years, I remember weighing at 69kg before jack and I got married, 77kg when I got married and 86 kg when I decided to lose weight officially! So... these are a pick of my fat photos and truth be known, there would only be about 5 or 6 other photos from these years, they just no longer exist! Now, i think that is very sad that there isn't more history of those important days with my babies, but I either avoided the camera or got rid of the photos.
Even though I refer to these photos are being fat, i am still proud to show them off! Proud that I had three amazing children and to show you that once you have kids there is still hope of losing weight again. I am remember clearly thinking that I would NEVER get to the 60's. never, ever did I think that I could weigh that after having kids. No reason for the negative thoughts, just that I didn't think it was possible for me to lose that much weight.
I proved myself wrong.
Also... thank you so much for all of my birthday wishes! I had the BEST day! Just the way birthdays should... all about me :-)

Okay.. better go and pack a suit case for Laura to have a sleep over at a friends!

Hi Kirsty

I think we are our worst critic as I think the photos look nice... I don't have the now photos to compare, but you look normal...

I'm sure you feel much healthier and more energetic now though...

Its such a female thing to get rid of unflattering photos. I was skimming through family albums the other day and realised there were barely any of my mum when us kids were little, she said it was because she didnt like the way she looked so she avoided the cmaera. I know i do it now and its another reason to lose weight, so that i can be immortilised on film in Joss's first years.

I still think you look great anyway!

Hey there!

Happy 2008!

Seriously Kristy, - NO WAY do you look 90kg though, - particularly in the pic in the black top and denim long shorts on Xmas day 04! Unless you are really tall? I would have put you somewhere between 75-80 if you are my height, - (1.71m). You look slimmer, definitely leaner than me LOL I think!

Anyway, great work on getting to where you are now, - legend stuff! You rock and being fit is it!

Wow you know you hold the weight well for someone who was 90kgs!! I would never pick it!! Maybe your overestimating your weight!!

I am also a culprit of deleting unflattering photos. After reading Kenzs post i decided to keep a whole heap that i was going to delete. Maybe one day they will serve as a wake up call to never go back there!!

Happy new year Kirsty. Good on you for sharing the photos - I think it always gives everyone who is struggling some hope when they see you now and compare with how you were. Take care Love Z xx
