The Fat Files….
The Fat Files…they’re just as creepy, and as scary, and all out frigtening, and even somewhat sickening as the X-files. I look at them and wonder if it came from another planet, or the depths of the sea…and I try to figure out what kind of malformed creature IS THIS?
And then…it hits me. Oh yeah. That was me! (was, was, was…never to be again…hip hip horay!)
I have composed a file of all the pictures of me as a massive behemoth, although thankfully there are few, not sure I could stomach too many shots of me like that (at least I had SOME presence of mind to dodge cameras, though moving quickly enough was always a challenge 
) I have stuck these pictures into a file, stitting with all prominence in the middle of my desktop, and labelled it… THE FAT FILES!
So when I get tired, or blah (which is rare for me these days, but does actually still happen!), I open it up, and take a gander at myself at my fattest, blubberiest, jiggliest self and just … refresh .. myself on why the heck I’m doing this and what I need to change. And WOW does it work. Who the hell wants to look like that?!?
I may only be down nearly 20 pounds of the 60,70 or 80 total I want to lose (hey that’s only 40,50 or 60 pounds more, woo hoo!), but I am making progress towards a better me…and it never hurts to see just how far I’ve already come, and what I’m NEVER going back to!
Here’s hoping for another great day!! Aww heck…here’s to MAKING another great day!

And with your attitude it will be a great day!! I have one of those files, too. Only a couple of pictures in there because if I got to them first, they were strangely missing. At the age of 45, pictures became no problem! 110 lbs. GONE. Keep up the good work! Hugs, Marge
WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I hate the way I look in photos! Once I start to make some progress, I may just do the same thing! Thanks for sharing.
That’s a brilliant idea and it’s going to be really rewarding to look back at that when you reach your goal!!!!!!!
You are doing such a great job–I am so proud of you!!!!
chai you rock! great attitude, great idea, and great energy! you will totally meet your goal and your fat file will be fat with old pics BUT your skinny file will be even fatter with new pics! Keep rockin on!
