rmThe fellow who I comissioned the art from took several snaps of me. For those of you who don't know me in person, you haven't seen what I look like since my celiac diagnosis or since I started fencing. You can't really see my amazing arms and thighs here, but I'm still thrilled to have these pretty casual random snaps. Everything is different now and it means a lot to be able to show you so:

wordsofastory joins me in the pic below. She's smiling. Does that make this more or less twisted if she's supposed to be dead or not?

Date: 2007-03-20 05:16 am (UTC)While I was really sick and waiting to be diagnosed, I lost of a lot of weight, probabyl about 20 lbs. And I've onyl gained about 15 of it back, somewhat to my surprise. As I assumed my inability to absorb nutrition properly would mean I would gain weight now. But everythign I've been putting on is muscle, since I started the intense physical activity about three months after going gluten-free.
That's really the big difference now -- I build muscle and no matter how much activity I did before, I never did.
