The Digital Photo Frame Makes Me Come Full Circle.

For Christmas my husband gave me a digital photo frame.  I can not express how elated I was to receive this.  I have wanted this present for a couple of years.  When I go to someones home with one I ooze jealousy.  It is almost Feburary and I have yet to display my new frame.  Today I took out my digital card and decided that I was going to finally display my new frame. 

I begin to go through the hard drive and then the realization hits that this is not going to be easy. While there are many important moments in my life that I want noted, most of them are me FAT. I'm not just talking overweight I am talking FAT, like you look like you ate yourself fat.

 It's hard to look at some of the happiest moments of our life and realize that you were the most out of control.  I had no control over my weight, or was it that I did not want to take control and change who I was.  Looking at these photos made me realize that the majority of my happy moments I was someone I did not like on the inside.  With every photo came another thought. 

While looking at one of the photos I said to my friend Katie, "Why didn't Greg (my husband) tell me I was fat?"

Katie: Because he loves you.
Me: Katie, remember that saying, Friends don't let friends drink and drive?
Katie: Yeah
Me: Well friends shouldn't let friends get so fat and not say anything.

I realize that memories are your memories and you can't change how much you weigh when they happen.  I am lucky to have the love of my friends and family at my worst or my best.  I also know that I am going to take some more photos so I can have memories of me at my skinniest.  :)
(Expect some new pics soon)
