Post Baby #1 vs Post Baby #2

You see I started my weight loss journey a long time ago, 4 years ago in January to be exact, when my son was 6 months old. I succeeded greatly and lost 80lbs over 2 years. Then I got pregnant again, then had multiple surgeries. Sometimes I can't help comparing the post baby #2 me to the thinner me of pre baby #2. But I noticed this yesterday; 18 months post the first time around I was heavier than I am now! And that's very encouraging to me, as 6 months after these pictures were taken I was at my goal. Which means I'm going to be to where I want to be by summer if things go "right". Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees and get so down. This picked me up yesterday :D I hope that made sense LOL

All these pics were taken almost exactly to the day 3 years apart.
