My Dream of Becoming the “Old Me”

June 13, 2008 | Filed in: Rambling

Or maybe I should say the “New Me” that looks like the “Old Me”, does that make any sense? Well…the pictures below should explain what I’m trying to say. Now I know, that realistically, there is no way possible that I will be able to achieve this look again. These pictures are over 20 years old for goodness sake! But…if I can at least get somewhere close to looking like this again and feeling almost as good as I did back then, I’ll be happy. Yep…if you are wondering…I was 16 and 17 years old in these pictures. Don’t ya just love the 80’s?!!

Thanks for stopping by Making Mommy Hot! Have a great day!

You’re such a pretty lady (then and now). And you’re well on your way to reaching your goal. I know you’ll get there. Dream on, Ruthie! It’s good to visualize daily what you want to become.

Awww, thanks so much Laura!

thats the best motivation in my mind—-not a pic of, say, heidi klum

See, you have something to go back and set a goal too! I wasn’t beautiful & skinny in high school. But I will say that the first time I did WW a few years ago, I lost 71 pounds and got down to a smaller size than I EVER was, so now I have to use old-newer pictures of myself, did that make sense? ROFL

A friend from high school once told me that I aged like a fine wine…due to my weight loss. But since I gained half of that back (but to date have lost half of that half, lol) I don’t feel that way anymore:(
