Way back when
Posted on Apr 27, 2008 under By The Way... |In this week’s Fun Photo Challenge Felicia’s asking us to post some baby and toddler pictures of ourselves. Diana, in turn, asked us to post some teenage pictures, so I’m combining the two in one post! I’m lazy that way.
This was taken when I was about 12 and I really believe I had the fattest thighs in the world…
I must have been about 15 or 16 in these pictures. Dear Lord, please forgive us our 80’s fashion transgressions!
These are in the 18-19 year range… When I look at myself here, I just want to travel back in time with some recent pictures and tell my young self that I’m pretty and NOT FAT.
How about you? Show us your childhood pictures!

What a beauty you are!! I always want to go back in time and have a little “chat” with myself regarding body image, boy if I only knew then what I know now!! BTW, I think that yellow belt might be back in style!!

“These are in the 18-19 year range… When I look at myself here, I just want to travel back in time with some recent pictures and tell my young self that I’m pretty and NOT FAT.”
Wouldn’t it be great if we could do that? I would go back and hug my young self and tell her to let her light shine, regardless of the weight and the fuzzy hair!
Thanks for sharing the photos. You were, and still are, a beauty — inside and out.
PS - I filched your iPod post! Thanks for the idea.

You are so beautiful Hanlie! Then and now. My sis and I were talking just yesterday about how thin I was when I was younger and I’ve ALWAYS thought I was fat. Our thoughts really do create our reality, eh????!!!
Here’s to thinking SLIM and HEALTHY!
Great Pics!

What a little cutie patooti!!! I just want to squeeze those little baby cheeks! So cute!
Isn’t it amazing how skewed our thought can be? You were so thin and beautiful in those teenager pictures. What a shame you didn’t realize it then. I am in the same boat you know.
Love seeing your past. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty blonde little baby! I need to do the same thing as I think I’m one of the people that suggested this to Felicia as the next photo challenge. And, like you I’ll be combining both (you’re not the only lazy one
