From my senior high school prom to my last trip to New Orleans, here I am! While I’d love to have part of my eighteen year old body, I’m a happy forty-eight year old today, much in part to my weight loss journey at Down the Scale!
Today, my senior high school prom date, J., sent me a photo from that night. Wow, how have eighteen years passed by this quickly? It’s always fun to see photos from the past, but this one was a good reminder my current success in my weight loss journey. My face and body have been bigger at times during the thirty years in between photos, but I think I still can see my old self in my current photo. Many of my pictures from, especially when I was in my thirties show a much heavier person…both in body and spirit.
While I wish I had the wrinkle free face and perkier breasts of the eighteen year old Jen, I am happy with who I am now. Sure, I’m always working to better myself, but I am proud of where I’ve been and where I’m going. Life is always changing and I am happy to change along with it, especially as I go Down the Scale…

And here’s the whole photo from my senior prom! Thirty years pass by quicker than you imagine…
