    You are beautiful, before and after! Congratulations! You look like a million! Thank you for sharing your story so others can see that it's hard at times for *everyone*, even the success stories we read! I think I needed to hear that today.

    This is such a great post because the feelings and thought you describe are so relatable! Especially this: "By week 3 it hit me, just how slow and long this was going to be! That there was NO magic weight loss method, I had done 3 LONG weeks and I was still not skinny was my way of thinking, no one could even tell I had lost weight!" I've lost over 30 pounds and I still feel this way, like I don't look or feel any different and my goal is still SO far off, but when I really think about it I know that's not true, it's just my perception.

    Congratulations!

    What a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing!! My profile picture is my goal again (need a full length one); after starting my masters program, I gained 50 lbs! I need to loose that, and focus on becoming healthy. It is so important to take one day at a time, and to continue on. Search for those inspirational stories that help you to push forward. I love this!! Congratulations beautiful Kiwi! ;-)
