Whenever I lack the motivation to work out or to bypass a cookie or chocolate cake, I try to look through pictures of myself when I was at my heaviest. I found this one lurking in the shadows, and literally cringed. I knew I was big, but never dreamed I was that big.....anyway I have made some amazing progress in almost a years time and I must say, even if I gained a pound and half this week, I am proud of myself for what I have accomplished, and am not going to let that deter me from continuing in the right path.
Losing weight is not easy, especially when the holidays are around the corner. I have a plan and I am going to stick with it! I am determined more than ever - especially since I am seeing results - and since I can go back and look at this and see how far I've come - it makes sticking to a plan, that much easier.
And now for the "AFTER":
44 pounds!!! :)
