When 35 down doesn't seem like so much...

A couple of pictures can set your mind right! These two pictures were taken almost exactly one year apart. I don't know about others who have a LOT to lose, but 35 doesn't seem like much. When I look in the mirror, I see the same me I did a year ago. And sometimes it's hard to see how far I've come when there's still so far to go. I've lost 35 pounds, but more than that, I've really gotten into better shape and lost inches! I didn't measure when I started, and I have a long way to go, but this looks like proof that logging my food, jogging and adding more exercise to the karate routine I've had for 5 years has payed off!

WOW...you look at least 10 years younger! Amazing job, you should be very proud of yourself.
When you think that 35 pounds is not much of a loss just go into your supermarket and pick up 3 10 pound bags of potatoes and a 5 pound bag of apples and try to walk around the store carrying that extra weight....when you finally put it down you will understand how grateful your body is that you lost JUST 35 pounds!
Keep up your hard work!0 -
