"BEFORE"


I'm feeling slightly discouraged, with the whole 87-pounds-of-weight-loss-not-being-instantaneous problem ;), so I thought I'd remind myself of how far I have come to date. This is me in November, about a month before I joined fatsecret. When my friend sent me this picture, I wondered why she was sending me a picture of a random awkward overweight woman. Until, of course, to my horror, I realized it was a picture of me. I am wearing the same shirt today that I am wearing in this picture, only there is a LOT more room in it. I can comfortably (for me anyway ;) fit my nephew or cat in there too if I want. ;) and those pants no longer stay up, but I am wearing similar pants, two sizes smaller (my fancy $20 size 12 pants that aunt minnie bought me!)

Okay, there, I feel better. :) More weight loss is coming soon, and meanwhile, I am wonderful the way I am, of course. :)

Not so much as an after picture but just for fun, here is me with my mommy and my nephew, on Mother's Day/ the day of my nephew's baptism.



That's my feline niece Doozer in the background. ;)

AWe... that new picture is just classic! I love it! BRAVO on coming so far!! You're doing so great!! I hear ya... 40 lbs down and I'm still quite over weight. But, I'm not 40 lbs more! :) It's easy to get down and forget how much better off we are. Do whatever it takes to keep that head up high and keep on kickin' it!! :)

What a great idea for a "pick me up" and keep things in perspective. Thanks for sharing!

cindylynn ..thanks for sharing your story...i know it parallels with alot of same feelings i have been struggling with as well. yesterday i spent day in city waiting on my car to get serviced...so i shopped and did errands. I actually had fun trying on clothes and so it reminded me that although i am not where i want to be eventually weightwise..i am also very glad to be where i now am. i struggle with living in the now in many ways...so your story helped reinforce just that..thank you!
