Reality Check.

We got the photos from the Christening yesterday and oh boy. Sob.

I look so disgusting. Hubby was hesitant in handing me the CD of photos. I could tell it wasn’t going to be pretty, literally. And it wasn’t.

I didn’t realise I was so big. So big. My face is lost behind all my fat and I just look miserable.

It’s just the kick in the guts that I needed. I really think it is.

I was feeding Lacey as I looked at the photos. She had fallen asleep. Usually I’d just nurse her while Hubby cooked dinner. Instead I passed her over to Hubby and said I really need to go for a walk. And off I went.

I was walking at a good pace. There was a slim, fit girl in front of me decked out in the newest ADIDAS gear. I thought I would try and keep up with her.

I overtook her. I was on a mission. I did massive hills that even at my fittest gave me a run for my money. I’m sore today but I love being sore. It means I really worked it.

There will more of this now and only clean eating. I’m on a mission and I’m serious. I deserve better. Hubby deserves better. And Lacey deserves better. xx

  1. Always remember, you are your own worst critic…yet at the same time, you need to be happy with yourself so that you can share that happiness with your husband & Lacey.

    Congratulations on your reality check today…we need those every once in awhile, no matter how painful they are. You are right where you need to be and doing great!

    You are awesome & truly an inspiration!

  2. Be strong gal! I understand where you’re coming from, I can’t tell you the last time I was purposely in a full body photo. ugh! THIS is why I tend to prefer to be the one BEHIND the camera!!

  3. Isn’t it weird that our picture selves never seem to match what we have in our heads?
    You can do this! You have a lot of support here to help you be healthy…you don’t have to go through this stuff alone!

  4. Chantelle you are such an inspiration and I know how important it is to be happy within yourself. You’ve inspired me to get out there once my baby is born with my walking and swimming, otherwise I’m going to find it very hard to lose the weight I have put on. You are gorgeous inside and out, and pat yourself on the back for how far you have come. I don’t know where you get your energy 🙂

  5. I hear you woman!!! Am feeling the same way….we can do it!!! wish we were closer then we could exercise together!!! I have weigh in tomorrow and dont know whether I have even lost anything!! But at least i am trying

  6. aww Im sorry you dont like how you look in the photos. but we are our harshest critic, so try to give yourself some credit. you are working hard and seeing results, so be proud of what you are doing and know that each picture will get better and better.

  7. I so hear you telle. I really do. I feel the same way. I started walking as well but it is so hard to go as often with a little one.

    You know what though, you are beautiful in and out.
