What 3 years and 20 kilograms looks like

I had a dream last night that I was thin, and my disappointment on waking up inspired me to put together this little before-and-after set:

In some ways I think there is a bigger physical difference between myself at 37 and 34 than there was between 32 and 16 (see this old post)

Apart from the giant Popeye forearms, I’d quite like to get back to my previous (nominal) weight this year. Funny how now when I look at photos of myself from more than a few years ago I now find myself liking the way I looked, when at the time I was at best ambivalent. I really hope I can reverse this dreaded face puff…

    Good point Ivan.
    My mates first digital camera (“these wont ever take off”) saved 240pix photos to a 3.5 floppy :)

    i recently lost loads of weight and whilst i’m happier with my appearance, i seem to be preoccupied with maintaining a weight and thinking more frequently about food. it’s more important to be happy and live 5 less years i’m now thinking.
