I’m not sure why I dread this post so much, but I do. If you happen to be on a weight loss journey, you’re likely bigger or smaller than me…don’t worry about it. I say that because I’m about to complain about my appearance when I know there are plenty of people starting out with more to lose than me. I don’t mean to be discouraging.

I don’t like pictures of me. It was bad enough when they were stowed away in some dusty photo album that came off the shelf once every few years, but now…they’re anywhere, and they’re forever. With my luck, this picture will be the little thumbnail next to my name on Ancestry that my posterity will look at and say, “Wow. Times were tough then.”

The most recent pic of me that I like

Anyway, enough whining, I guess I’m going to do the post. Full disclosure: This before pic was taken on 1-7-23, the last night of my first full week. I will post a similarly posed one each month so you can print them out and make a cool “Shrinking Kris” flip book.

No pic from today’s walk since I’m already sick of the ones from the neighborhood, but I did manage to get my 2 miles in for the day.
