i used to be rather overweight in my teen years. i also used to drink soda, and eat fast food, and lots of snacks with no restraint. and also no exercise. when i started college, i slowly began to change my ways, one thing at a time. i've lost some weight over the past 10 years, but at such a snail's pace, sometimes i don't even realize it.
in january 2008, i joined my first gym. i may not have my gym membership anymore, but... since january 2008, i've managed to successfully incorporate some daily exercise into my life on a consistent basis.
now, i'll be honest, i still enjoy beer/wine on a weekly basis. i still eat snacks that aren't healthy, mostly i still battle with the unstoppable force of binge eating. and i still fight with myself constantly over why i can't just be skinny already. and it's frustrating and exhausting. but unfortunately, i am not capable of being as strict as i need to be in order to get a perfect body that i think i need.
with that said... i noticed a picture of me from new year's eve right before my exercise started against one taken last week. needless to say, i was rather surprised. when did my stomach not hang over my pants so much anymore. here are the results:
