Wow. What a difference. Today I wanted to give up, like I have other times..... but now I know why I have not done so.....when I looked at this photo I cried again, this was the reason I went & did all this..... because I was fat. Because I was FAT. No denial any longer......

This was me in Feb this year (2012) take a look at the fat face...... that was me ALL over. 95kg & a size 22. Unfit & very fat.



This is me TODAY.....no fat face, a size 14 or 12 depending on the clothing brand....running 10km a day & fit as I can get at this point. I workout EVERY SINGLE DAY with no rest, I push hard & scold myself if I dare slip up or don't work out hard enough.



I'm no longer going to want to quit, I'm not going back to that 1st photo.... I'm not going back to anything near that person. I'm a better person than before, no longer shy & reserved. I've done well, I'm proud of myself because I did it for ME.

Now I'm about to kick everyone elses *kitten* into gear. If I can do it..... anyone can.

I am very proud, so is my husband He actually LOOKS at me now. I love it. I used to shy away from any attention, used to hide behind fat clothes. Now I wear skinny jeans, even a sexy short little number yesterday & love it when I get tooted at

Awesome! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

Woah. There is a giggly saying "under all this fat I am supermodel" . In your case , just the difference in face...there was really beautifull face hidden under that fat. Super proud of your progress and your post shows it's never worth to give up.

BTW I should point out that I am 37. I got asked the other day how old I was, when I said how old I was then called a liar. I then had to point out my 19yo son & told them I had him at 18. Got to love looking younger

Wow, you really inspire me. I just started here in MFP and working out again. I can't wait to loose the extra 40 pounds and kick our HR manager's *kitten*. She called me fat today when everybody knows that she just lost weight through her addiction to diet pills. heh-heh

dragonfly_em

you've made me want to push myself harder - i'm doing it all but too slowly - 7months that must be so satisfying. Keep kicking everyone's butt please. That's the attitude that gets you somewhere as you've shown.

Hmmm! That's my girl. Am the age with you and I tell you it's so amazing when u can catwalk naked with ur husband watching.
After I lost weight from 119 to 93 my husband has never been able to take his hands off of me, lol. I love the attention too.
Now am about 99 or 100kg cos I became pregnant for my last baby and added weight but am loosing it gradually, I can now wear the clothes I wore at 93kg but the scales still tells me I weigh 100kg, am not bothered with the scale knowing am losing inches and I will GET back there and even less.

Diet basically consists of chicken & sushi lol. My diary is fully open

Exercise was hard. Zumba to start. Then Tiffany Rothe workouts (youtube) then pop-Pilates (youtube as well)... now running. Running is my passion now. I love it. I don't take a day off, mainly because I know if I do then I'll find an excuse the following day not to do something. So I press on every day even when I am tired, sick or even a broken toe (yep running on a broken toe).

I now let myself eat some of the good things.... fish n chips. Pizza was in there once (no idea why I liked pizza once cause I hate it now) and even chocolate.

I guess it's the ADHD in me that wont let me give up even when my mind is saying stop. Today I didn't want to go for my usual run. I went out the door & started, then got about 1km away & said to myself...I'll only do a small run today cause I'm kinda beat..... I'll only do 3km or so....... got to 9km before I went....whoa I'm almost home. It's like that every time. I don't know how to stop. I have to force myself to start, then force me to stop. I love it in a strange way.


Thank you everyone for the really nice words, it's good to see that others can see the difference as well Some day's I feel like I can't see any change at all I guess I'll always be a fat girl stuck in there somewhere..... when all my 'fat' life I was a skinny girl stuck in a fat body

Gosh.....being British I am not usually easily given to emotion, but.......blimey!

I've read many posts of great losses but yours, for some reason which I am still unable to fathom, has really actually hit me in the chest. !!!

I am larger than you were - but in my brain I do not feel my actual size. I think maybe what has caused such a reaction is that your post is a photo JUST of your face, and can be seen side by side with your 'new' face - this has brought reality home to me - in that I still feel like my face is thin, like your 'new' face, when actually it is bigger than your 'old' face.

Just what I needed - thanks. Would you mind me copying and printing your photo to stick on my screen as a constant reminder?

Thank you for posting. I love seeing the changes in people's face more than anything.
You really are a great looking person. When I look at your old photo though I just feel tons of compassion and empathy. One thing I am working on is being sure to love my body whatever weight I am, it has given me 3 kids and supported me all these 48 years. I don't think I can move forward completely unless I feel the love for the old me....

You know I kinda love the old me for showing me the way to the new me, the better me. Is that crazy?
