And exactly one year from now, I will look like this:
Actually, I misspoke. Tomorrow is Day 1 of Operation Britney Spears, Pre-Meltdown. Tonight we're having what Carrie likes to call "The Last Supper," meaning pizza from "The Murf" (Papa Murphy's), D.P. (Dr. Pepper), and brownie sundaes. It's our own little Mardi Gras. Or in this case, Mercredi Gras. Tomorrow it is all discipline and misery, starting with a 5 a.m. trip to the gym. Heaven help me.

can i join in your self-punishment? i need to tone my lazy ass a bit, too. but it's definitely going to have to start tomorrow cause i just indulged in what had to be 500 calories of cupcake. not to mention the 1000 calories cheeseburger lunch. and i haven't even eaten dinner yet...
Why are you starting this right before the holidays? I keep trying to justify my current lazy state by telling myself that I have a new baby, I'm nursing, blah, blah, blah. That still doesn't justify eating ice cream twice a day (even if it makes said ice cream feel REALLY NECESSARY). Now I feel like I should get back on the wagon, too. Thanks for bursting my bubble.
I want to join the self-punishment too! What do I do?
Dearest Amelia...I saw your blog picture, and although it was just a head shot, you looked pretty dang good. You are not allowed to commiserate, little miss "i just need to tone." Toning is soooooo far down the road for me. On second thought, it would be nice to have others out there denying themselves earthly pleasures as well. Misery loves company, as they say. So sure! Join in! Let's all be cranky together!

I'm not sure if you remember me -- I was in your ward in Cambridge (for about a second) several years ago. I found your blog through Marissa Turley Benson's and HAD to leave a comment on this particular post! OMG - the title of your challenge kills me and the photo of what you will look like one year from now...wow! Good luck on the work ahead -- I need to join in too (especially right now before the holidays).
Take Care,

Uh, the snake????? Is that part of the 'after'? If so, I'm out. Sorry. :)
p.s. I like how you've positioned yourself in the 'before' to hide your messy room. I know you girl!!
you look beautiful by the way!
ahhh... I remember this, THE TRAIN TO SKINNYTOWN.
Don't inspire me to join you right before the holidays! This is the one time (or two months or so time) of the year where I eat like an absolute HORSE and really don't feel so bad about it. Sigh. I should really join you. I've been carrying around a free registration card for Weight Watchers in my wallet that expires next week. Dammit. I'm still carrying around a fat roll or two from our Boston trip. Thanks a lot Randi. :)
Why would you want to look like a drugged boa constrictor?
And ditto Bekah. Why right now? Enjoy the holidays. That's my excuse. Well, I'm also positive that I'm allergic to sweat...
