Have you seen this girl???

MISSING!!!!!
Have you seen this girl??

I was looking through some old photos today and came across this picture of me. This was the spring of 2000 and my how things have changed since then. Look at my hair and my green purse, oh how I loved that purse. I called it Oscar, lol. Not very original I know, but I had a name for everything back then. And the pin said "porn star", which I was far from being. And my lip ring *sigh*. I loved that piercing so much. I still remember when I got it, it was August of '98 down in Courtenay at Salon Bridges.

But I miss this girl. I miss looking so young and healthy. I miss being so 'skinny'. Ha ha. I know I'm not skinny in this picture, but all I've done since is gain weight and it sucks!!! So to me, I'm skinny in this picture and funky too!!! Look at all my trinkets!!!

So this picture gives me something to strive towards. I know I will never be that 'young' again or perhaps even that 'free', but I could totally be that weight again and I would LOVE to. A good friend of mine sent me a book that I'm just starting to read and I think it has some really good, wholesome ideas in it to help me out. It's about getting fit and in order to be fit and healthier on the outside, you have to be fit from within - so working on the inside first. And that's just what I'm going to do. I've lost weight before and I was so close to reaching the first big milestone but it didn't happen and I gained it all back plus some. Now that I've had a baby, it's not any better and in fact is worse to some extent because I had a c-section that left things a little wonky.

I'm really glad that I found this picture because it is going to give me some motivation to find me again.
