Or.. you know.. ten.
I can’t tell you how many times I have looked at pictures in the past and thought, Man, Sarah, you were so smokin’ hot! Why did you think you were so fat?!
A friend posted this on Facebook this morning and Ra sent it to me wondering when this was.. and how she could feed that poor malnourished child a cheeseburger. Was I EVER that skinny? REALLY?
That dress, which I was so SO so self-conscious about, is GAPING open because it’s so big on me. I was so nervous about buying that dress (let alone wearing it) because 1) it showed my legs and 2) I bought it in a junior’s size.. unheard of in my household. I was nineteen at that time and it was one of the first items I had ever, EVER purchased out of the junior department and not the women’s department.
I’ve been sitting here, staring at that unknown person and wondering what that necklace was around my neck. And then it hit me: there was a guy (wasn’t there always?) that I was pretty freakin’ sweet on, but his parents.. um.. were not so fond of me. I’m sure they had their reasons, but I equated most of it to the fact that I didn’t go to church. (Dude, I was 19.) I was stage-managing and student-directing a production of Incorruptible at the time and had gotten some saint medallion as a cast gift. I TOTALLY WORE IT THAT DAY HOPING I’D BUMP INTO THEM AND THEY’D BE ALL, OH, SHE DOES LOVE JESUS! (Dude, I was *19*.)
That poor, malnourished child. Whatever became of her?
Pretty sure I ate her.
lol! You were lovely then, and you are lovelier still now.
I do this same thing with pictures – I found one recently that I had to put on my fridge, it was so poignant. Maybe I will post about it this weekend too… those pictures are something, aren’t they?
bessie.viola´s last blog ..quirky is just a nicer way to say “weird”
I wish my wife would do that. I’ve got a picture of her, I think she’s 20 in the photo, she’ hot. Does she see it? No. I’ve got more awesome shots that I’ve taken of her myself since we met- she was 32 when we met.
She’s beautiful.
Then again, so are you.
She was pudgy in middle school and I don’t think the feelings she had about herself then have ever left. My wife is a true hotty.
I wish she’d have at least a day or two here and there where she catches herself in the mirror and says “wow!”
Where’s the picture? I can’t see it!!
[...] this brings on thoughts of how fat I’ve become or how much I can’t stand myself now. But having said that, I looked at these pics and thought, Wow, I’ve kind of .. I’ve [...]
