The "Before" Pic

Maybe the day you go out to eat twice in one day and end up feeling like a bloated whale isn't the day you want to take your "before" photo.  I had Indian and Italian.  I made pretty smart choices and thoroughly enjoyed my meals and my company, but it adds up quick!

But I took the photo, side and front.  I didn't suck it in.  I didn't do my make up.  I'm dressed in a white tank and shorts, so there's really no hiding the size of...well...anything.  NO, I'm not posting it.  I may, in the end, once I look hot and strut around like Beyonce all day long even if I end up throwing my hip out ...

...maybe then, I'll post my "before" pic as part of a flipbook-like gif and you can watch the amazing shrinking Aileen.  

Until then, we move on and keep trying our best.  

And strut if you goddamn feel like it, regardless of what size you are.  Plus, I'm sure walking around like that burns a lot of Calories :)
