Jacqui D, I felt like a whale in that second photo. In fact, I knew I had gained weight, but I didn't really pay much attention to how much. When I saw those photos I could have cried. I was so appalled. I mean, how does a person gain so much weight (over 30lbs) and just "not notice" how bad it really is? And then I lost the weight (top photo) and was so happy...then I just let it all pile back on. I'm so disappointed in myself, I shouldn't HAVE to do this again. But here I am.
Wolfgirl I saw your thread, you looked nice in both photos, but just like me, I felt bad in the heavy photo, and good in the thin photo so I understand.
