pictures


Since my goal date has come and gone (it was June 1st in case you didn't know), I realized that I had promised bikini pictures.

It isn't quite the picture I was hoping it would be.

I was hoping to be able to give you a good behind shot to show off some dramatic improvement, but that didn't happen as planned. I'm not going to complain though because even though my body has flaws, I think it could be much MUCH worse.

I have abs, I have muscle definition, I have low body fat and I have cellulite. What can I say? I'm not perfect.

I went to the mall yesterday to find a dress. Those mirrors in the changing rooms are NOT very kind to someone like me who is very critical of herself. However, I did leave with some happy news. I have some skinny jeans at home that are baggy on me now. I like the fact that they are so comfortable and not tight at all but the whole purpose of a skinny jean is to accentuate your curves, not hide them behind sag. So, I thought, what if I tried on a smaller size just to see....I just about screamed because they fit! My size 4 skinny jeans were baggy and I am now the owner of size 2 skinny jeans. 

I have worked out hard, ate right, and I have a healthy body as a result.

you look freakin' awesome girl, believe me. i wouldnt lie to you - what's the point in that? you should be feeling over the moon on your achievement. however !!!! we need a behind shot as well to complete the picture !!! did you take a bikini shot before you started your diet? just curious - who would you like your body to look like? also who could you realisticly look like (there is a difference between the two!)
honestly charlotte you are rockin it!
