I'm not really the kind of person who posts before and after pics, mainly because I didn't take any but also because I don't think that I ever thought I would get to the stage where I felt like I had actually accomplished something with my weight. It all seemed unreachable. But after looking through many old photo albums and cringing at the sight of myself, I've realised that I have. And maybe I need to post this so that I can see it clearly, accept it and be proud of it. Instead of constantly finding negatives and flaws.

At my heaviest in 2009, roughly 190lbs

This year, between 145-150lbs

p.s. first time posting pics, sorry for the size!

    It's easy to concentrate on the things you are still unhappy about and to look at what you still have to do, rather than reflecting on what you have achieved.

    But you have acheived so much, you look so different and you look fantastic, well done!

    This sums up exactly how I have been seeing things!! But not anymore, thank you :)
