Me-Then and Now

An old friend of mine posted a photo of me on Facebook yesterday. He had found some old snapshots from back before everything became digital. I couldn’t stop looking at the photo because I have changed so much. My daughters didn’t even recognise me!

The photo was taken in the late ‘90s, perhaps ‘98 or ‘99. It was at a friend’s birthday party. All of my friends were there, but in the photo it was just me and one of my friends sitting on the stairs. We were wearing long, fancy dresses. I used to wear fancy clothes far more often back then. 

My hair was half up and half down in the photo. I used to have longer hair, but I keep cutting it short every few years, so there are some photos of me with long hair, and some of me with short hair. 

I also look really thin in the photo. Well, I used to do more exercise and I used to eat much less, so it is normal that I was so much thinner. Plus, I have had two children since then! To be honest, as it was taken around 18 years ago, I guess I shouldn’t have been so shocked by all the changes!
