Saw a "during" photo yesterday from a year ago and it's so different!

I didn't realize how different I looked a year ago until I came across this photo. I was about 224 here.

While I looked great, I thought that was thin. I think that is so weird that my perception of thin kept changing as I changed.
Here I am at around 250-255 in Fall 2013 (Highest was 272)

Here I am in my latest photo around 187

I am nowhere near where I want to be and I know one day I'll look back and my perception of myself will be different. It is just such a unique experience to go through old photos and see the transformation.

You are so right about how your perception of thin changes! I felt smallish when I got below 200 -like 185-190, but looking at those pictures I feel like I look so chubby! (which I'm sure I was at that weight! :P ) now at 167, I can't believe I felt that was thin. and i'm not even sure I feel thin now! haha. Here's hoping when I hit goal I feel that way! You look awesome by the way, congrats! I started around 250 myself the first go around.0
