Everytime I passed a mirror and looked into it, I thought to myself where did you go to Di?...The person i saw in that reflection didnt even resemble what I used to look like....The bad eating habits had caused my hair to very brittle and not healthy, my skin was dried from the lack of water and broken out from bad habits (maybe not eating, but when I dont take care of my health everything else goes along with it)....I had dark circles under my eyes....my clothes were way too snug on my rather large body and to be frank about it...I just looked like utter *kitten*...At that point I decided I wanted me back....I didnt want to walk by a mirror and suck in my tummy to "fool" myself into thinking I was skinnier than I really was...I'm posting this because when I look in the mirror today I am somewhat seeing the old me...my skin isnt dry and flakey anymore due to the fact that I drink the right amount of water now, it's not broken out because I take care of myself better, my hair is actually not all that damaged anymore and its starting to get that old shine back....and my body, well it's actually starting to piece itself back together....I can see muscles that I hadnt been able to see in over 5 yrs....I am now seeing parts of my old reflection....And well as far as the dark circles go, being a mommy of 2 young boys will do that ...so those will have to wait :laugh: but I missed seeing me and now that "Di" is starting to reappear in that mirror I am overwhelmed with joy and just so dang eccstatic :bigsmile:

    thank you all..you're all so very sweet....and to any of the mommy's out there ....I'm finding out that it is possible to get somewhat of ur old stomach back (I havent completed the process 100% yet) but i'm starting to see my skin tighten up and the more muscle i get the more taught its getting ....so it is possible...don't get let down by the way it looks at first
