I was super lucky and got to visit with DietGirl when she came to New York to promote her book on the Early Show. Now, I’ve just watched the video from the interview, and I think it turned out fantastically. What’s especially wonderful is that it’s a testament to why I started this blog, lo those many years ago. I’m still working on my weight loss, of course, and sometimes I feel like the lamest weight loss blogger in the world. But someday I’m sure I’ll look back — I can actually already look back — and be thankful for everything I’ve learned, and the friends I’ve made, in the process. It’s great knowing you’re all out there.
P.S. I also wanted to say I thought DG looked amazing in the video, despite eating soul food and risotto while in my company. She took a picture of me and, of course, I had the big revelation that I am actually fatter than I perceive myself to be, when I look in the mirror. Is this my “knickers on the washing line” moment? 
I hope so!
Always have the same warped sense of reality regarding my own body, too. I am usually shocked and apalled when I see pictures of myself. Hopefully that’ll change eventually. BUT I think YOU (or your body, more like) look lovely
thank you
the friendship aspect of blogging is the best… otherwise i’d just have been a saddo in a hotel room last week, hehehe!
(and i think you look lovely and i’m not just saying that coz i took the picture
)
Shauna, I think I look good — for me — in that picture, too, which is one reason I’m sharing it. Your version turned out great, too, and I’m not just saying that because I took them. It’s just that, even though I think it is a rather flattering picture, it is realistic, which means I look fatter than I would like!
