much of my life i was quite the ham and always taking and being in pictures with friends, but i haven't been willingly photographed in years. friends have snaps of me holding my hand over my face. for the longest time, i just sadly chalked it off to aging badly, my face looked so puffy and round in pix. in fact, just yesterday i found a picture of me from the summer of pain, on a trip to napa. my head looks like charlie brown's.
last month i attended a b-day party with the owner and "had" to be in the "girls" picture, all of us lined up. shown only a small version of it inside the camera, it was the first time in forever i did not hate how i looked. neither my ass nor my face looked fat. although my hair was behaving badly from the humidity in the kitchen, lol.
last week, the owner took a shot of me at the end of a long day. the lighting is very dark and it is just from the shoulders up, but i can actually see the angles and such of my face.
after a month of not, i measured myself again yesterday and more inches have gone, including 2 more from my back. maybe i should be measuring my head!
on someone of such small stature a little can make a big difference. this summer: short sleeves!
