Honesty…

This is me being honest…

Okay, so I’ve put on a bit of weight again lately…sigh.  I’m a “bit” self conscious about it, especially since everyone around me is pregnant and I’ve been asked more than once lately.  Truth is, the last 3 very hearty attempts to loose the weight resulted in NOTHING! Months of work and I actually gained 2 pounds!…I swear it’s hormonal.  Anyway, I decided that if I was an aerobics instructor or a nutritionist that I’d use my talents in my field to help myself lose weight but since I’m neither of those I’ll have to work within my own field….photography…and photo editing…did I mention I ♥ Photoshop??

Not sure what I mean?  Just mouse over the fabulous pic of me and my SILs below to discover my secret (this won’t work if you’re in Google Reader)…but then make sure you take your mouse OFF the picture…I like this one better!! :) 
 
 
I will say, though, that this is actually the first pic of me I’ve published that I edited…usually I just don’t post pics of me.  I’d joke that no one can ever believe a pic of me ever again but, as you can see, I can’t even be dishonest about it ONCE!  Oh well….

Anyway, I know everyone’s going to tell me to knock it off (which is fine, you’re expected to) but what I really want is for you to admire my awesome Photoshop skills….that’s what I REALLY want (though actually losing 20 lbs in 2 seconds would be pretty awesome…).

Christy, your Photoshop skills are amazing, and in this instance, COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. You look wonderful to me, just as you are! For the record, I've been working out and eating mindfully since July 24th, and, well, I've lost a whopping 2 pounds. TWO. POUNDS. In three months. What the ridiculous?! But I'll keep plugging along....and truthfully, I CAN see some small results, so even if my weight is not reflecting it, I can hope. Holy cow. Longest comment ever. Sorry.

Oh my goodness, Christy,
I can't believe you have these Photoshop skills at your fingertips and had a question about using them to YOUR advantage. Sweetie, just fix yourself to look the best in every picture!! I haven't seen you lately and many who read your blog may not have. The last time I remember you looked absolutely great!! So...do your best on your very own self and don't give it a thought. In your mind's eye you must look fantastic or your ego will go way south!!! A girl has to do what a girl must do!!
