I had a really bad couple of years, and gained about 70 pounds--I can't believe it happened, but EVEN MORE--I can't believed what I have accomplished on my own! Aside from the weight, which is enough on it's own, I feel like I've also shed that bad time in my life. So, be proud of yourself, beautiful, strong, accomplished and committed women! The other day, I was talking about my weight loss and it brought me to tears. The person asked me what was making me sad, as though I was sad about what work I had left to do. I told her that I was crying tears of joy and pride at what I have done over the past year. With that in mind, I've got to finish this work I started.
I've finally got back down to close to my "central tendency" weight. Even though I'm still heavier than I've been in the past, I feel like I can finally see my body again when I'm wearing clothes (not that I don't have at least 30 pounds of improvement, even with clothes on, but I actually look average now).
Weight aside, I think my biggest goal is to love my body naked! I'm guessing that is somewhere between 20-30 pounds from now.
After the ramble.. here are some before/after pics. This is about a year of change. Hopefully I'll post some more "after" in a couple months!
Thank you for all your nice and encouraging words! This website is great for support and I am so happy I have found it.
The last few days have sucked, because I haven't lost a pound even though I'm doing everything right. I keep telling myself to believe in the process and wait it out.
