I've been feeling really down lately. I thought that losing weight would make me happy but in all honesty, it really hasn't. I keep seeing myself at 260 plus pounds and not back in the 100's (I haven't weighed myself for weeks so I don't want to change anything) and around 70 pounds down. Yesterday I was having a bad-body day and my mom took me shopping. I got a couple of new shirts and finally I got some new jeans after searching for WEEKS for some new pants. I took some pictures and I was shocked to see how I looked! I like it for once! I like how I look! I can fit into the juniors section at stores, shirts AND pants! I won't have to go to Lane Bryant for back to school clothes anymore! I'm so happy that I can't stop smiling!
This is me going into my freshman year (two years ago) at high school:
I never realized I was THAT big then =/
Me now (Oh please ignore the arm swing, or 'bat wings', I've been overweight so long I don't think it's going anywhere):
(My boobs FINALLY are defined and my stomach hardly pokes past them anymore!!)
I'm just so...happy. I mean I never thought I could lose 5 pounds much less around 70! This time last year I was being miserable about my weight and this year I don't have to be! My Lord I look almost...dare I say? Normal! Almost!
