Got back the pictures of Noah and I at the dance. Whereas I can say that they are cute pictures my first response was, “Oh my god I’m chunky.” I’m also thinking about burning that dress so that I will never be seen in public in something so unflattering again.

*sigh* But you know what? I know that the women I look chunkier than (there is a group picture with all of the chaperones) are stick skinny and I wouldn’t *want* to look like that. Why is it that I think I look awful because I’m uhm well filled out but I think it looks fine or better on other people? Stupid double standards.

I have decided that I am not going to say out loud again that I look fat in the pictures. I look happy. I am all snuggly with my baby and he looks like he is having fun too. I am absolutely NOT going to say that I look fat in front of my students. I look like I’m grinning my head off. That is what matters. I am however allowed to make cracks about being so pale you can’t tell where the white dress ends and I begin. 😉
