This picture I did for my husband
He recently reached 300 watchers and I am super proud of him!

But I also did it as a self motivator piece for myself
and yes a 3d picture of us, actually looks pretty spot on of what we look like, kinda. lol.
I am actually more blonde and i been getting the odd white streaks lmao
Its just the lighting i used for this photo made the hair darker then what it was in the studio

As some of you may know or may not know I been on a weight loss journey for the 3rd or 4th time maybe 5th time *(lost count really)*
In the last 12 years.
I gained 200lbs when I quit smoking over 16.5 years ago, swapping smoking for stuffing my face.
One bad habit for another bad habit
Food isn't bad but I did the fast food/junk food
Dinner oh look a bag of chips
done work to tired to cook stop at KFC and eat a bucket of chicken
I kid you not, i was pretty bad, didn't help I dated a guy also around this time that would go spend 100s of dollars on food
but then eat take out all the time
so I got into a few bad habits of my own

I weigh'd myself and did my measurements over 2 weeks ago and the last time I checked I was down 116lbs in 13 months with 35 inches in my waist alone gone.
I still have more to go, another 64lbs to my first goal of 155 but ill get there.
I used to be 135 when i graduated high school back in 2000
I know i wont get that small again mainly cause according to my scale about 100lbs or so of my weight right now is muscle, 5lbs is bone and about 42% is water

But I will tell you something that may or may not make sense to some of you.

I was always fit in shape and doing sports and track in high school I got made fun of cause i was such a tomboy
I benched my weight and did 600+lbs on my legs (about all i could do it was as high as the stack went at the school gym lol)
I was strong and bigger then the girls in my classes.
They where all pretty small and always worried about breaking a nail

They used to ask the teachers if i was on the wrong side of the class and if I should be with the guys.
They used to say I looked more like a boy then a girl.... when I graduated I looked a bit smaller then Dana Brooke from NXT.

I used to get made fun of and told that no guy would want me cause i looked like a man or that unless i was skinny or fat no guy would have any interest.

When I graduated I was in a home for girls
Even then the girls there made fun of me and one time we went for makeovers for a girls night out
When they came to find me they kept walking right by me til I turned around when they said "Here is Tina!"
One girl busted out with "Omg, Tina looks like a girl!!"
It was very hurtful. From that day on I quit smoking and turned to food, Turned off one bad habit to another. As I mentioned above.
Once I started gaining the weight the guys started to flock around me. I thought I was doing something right.... which wasn't true.
Even today Charlie says, "The guys probably where to shy to ask you out back then"

Now I am not into the whole bodybuilding thing, its just not me
I am into the whole being fit and in shape and being healthy
That is my main goal
I want lean sexy muscle not bulky and big
So just a warning you wont see that as I continue my progress pictures.
Which I am trying to get a updated pic but the lighting hasn't been my friend as of late
Might have to have Charlie help me get a good picture

These ladies and many others are my motivation and to me if i could get fit and in shape like any of these ladies
I would be happy

Here is a couple of my progress pics from Feb/March of this year (below this paragraph)
As well as more write ups on those posts if your interested on reading them.
Goes into a little more detail on things.

I know my friend has been keeping me in check cause I been keeping him in check too
As well as just to name a couple folks that poke me quite often
My biggest cheerleader of course is my partner in life and crime
and of course my friends YOU that been watching me all this time and supporting my progress and art, you all been a great support system too
THANK YOU!

I also am part of some groups with some friends both online/rl that been keeping me in check also
Kinda hard to run away this time and go back into my corner and suck my thumb
Seriously I would do that all the time cause the hate from growing up would cloud me from making progress
Trying to not let it get to me this time, my goal, my final time trying to lose this weight

Im not looking back, going back
Im looking forward and going forward
Ill get off my soap box now
Thank you
