In the last 25 years I've gone from 250 lbs to 396 lbs back to 227 lbs. What a journey it's been. Not one I would have chosen for myself but I have learned so much about myself. I'm stronger than I ever thought I was. I've proved to myself I can do things even when everybody tells me I can't.

    Thank you. I was amazed when I put my 18 year pic and 43 year pic together. My 25 year high school reunion is in a couple of weeks and I'm really excited to go back. The funny thing is, I don't wear a lot of make up and I don't use special products to wash my face. I put moisturizer on maybe once a week during the summer.
