The charity ball we attended on Saturday night proved to be a nice night.  We enjoyed ourselves and I loved having a chance to get all dolled up for a change.

What I didn't love was seeing the pics Hubby took of us when we came home.  My Mom had asked that we take a couple of photos.  I had bought the Hubby a tripod for Christmas and this gave him a chance to use it.  We were running behind when leaving for the ball.  So, we ended up taking a couple of shots upon arriving home for the night.

I took one look at the pics and said "Where in the hell did my waist go?!?"   It looked as if I was all boobs and no waist to be found.  Sigh!  Now, I know that I'm a very well-endowed girl and have never been that bothered by it, but these photos were very unflattering (at least in my own eyes).  The Hubby said I looked good, but duh he likes boobs!   I was rather bothered by it. 

Over the past year and few months, I've worked hard to try and shed weight.  I have managed to drop almost 30 pounds and several inches, but looking at such an unflattering picture made me feel as if I hadn't changed.  I wanted to see my waist damn it!  I know I have one, but the twins are like the sun and eclipsed it. 

I managed to make my hair look decent even tho I never wear it up like that.   Heck, I got lucky and my skin cooperated and I didn't have a blemish or need any acne treatment.   I should have looked perfect.   Sadly, I felt awful after looking at those photos and didn't want to email them to my parents.  I did though.

Maybe they'll see the beauty that I missed...
