If only I could embrace you from 2000 miles away :( Kudos to you in your quest. I will look to you as a role model in the coming months as I fight my own battle of the bulge. I'm not necessarily off to a great start, however, as this message is coming to you after two too many pitchers of margaritas at El Tipico tonight...Ole! I totally embrace this!

Maybe we should all collect those “bad photos” and rather than burning them, make a photo montage, or post them on a website and stare at them until we become unphased by them.
