So, January 2011 I saw these picture of myself (I am on the right)on facebook, IMMEDIATELY untagged myself, and cried myself to sleep. I honestly can't even believe I am posting these....I never let anybody ever take full body pictures of me!
(287 lbs)
(287 lbs)
I couldn't believe I had let myself get so unhealthy. I decided to go vegan, for health and ethical reasons, and I am down 43 pounds so far! I just took this. Please excuse the embarrassing fruit pajama pants, hehe!
(247 lbs)
(247lbs)
Sometimes, living with myself everyday, I get frustrated and feel like I'm not making enough of a change physically and don't look any different. These pictures make me feel a lot better though!
I have decided to remain completely dedicated and choose healthy food in hopes to lose 60 more by the end of this year!

Yeahhh, I even set it so other people can't see the pictures I am in tagged in, haha. I can't wait for the day when I am comfortable enough to disable that.
Thank you so much for the compliment! It really made my night. 0 -

I had no idea you could set the pictures to that; where no one else can see the pics you've been tagged in. Even losing 64 pounds, I'm still untagging myself from pictures.
For me too, a picture on Facebook prompted this journey. I was browsing through a friend of a friend's pictures and I saw a picture of this woman's son. Well, on the side of the picture was ME - in a SIDE VIEW. I became nauseated and wondered if it would be tactful if I emailed this woman that didn't know me to ask her to take the picture off Facebook. This was last August. I began making changes and never looked back.
My highest weight ever was 289 and I remember thinking, "Oh good, it's not 300.". What was I thinking? Jeez.
Anyway, so glad you have made your own changes and are finding success with that! Best of luck on YOUR journey!0 -
