So, I am beyond embarrassed of my before picture. In fact...I had to dig pretty hard to even find one and of course it's a horrendous display of me...making a face and all. Haha.

However, when I look in the mirror it's really hard for me to see that big of a difference, and to me, 50lbs (ok, 49.6lbs) should make a HUGE difference. But, I guess when you're as over weight as I am...50lbs is 50lbs and all that matters is I'm losing it...and I'm getting healthy! So...without anymore rambling and such...here I am. The one on the right is me in September of 2010, weighing about 315lbs (not even my heaviest, my heaviest was 336lbs) and the one on the left is me now at 286lbs :) Still a REALLY long way to go...but I'm trucking along!

    I started at 330. 50lbs made me feel better but didn't show up as a HUGE difference size wise. The next 20 showed up more. You're welcome to check out my FB page to see the pics of my transition. You don't have to LIKE it to see the pics I don't think.

    P.S. I think you're being FAR too hard on yourself. You are beautiful and were before you started too.. now you're healthier and more comfortable in your skin.
