You've come a long way, baby!

I need to take a second to bask in the glory of my recent success! Let's start with some background....During my recent bout with depression I was put on medication that I was told "might increase my appetite". Understatement of the year! I was not just hungry but ravenous 24 hours after. I would eat until I felt like I was going to throw up and still feel hungry. I'm not completely blaming the meds, I was making poor choices (a tray of brownies is always a poor choice) but depression for me meant emotional eating so I was doomed from the start. In 3 months I put on close to 45 pounds!!! AHHHHH! Panic mode sets in, I get a gym membership, switch meds and start eating healthy....That was February 1st.

Which leads me today! It was weigh in and measurement day at my gym and (drumroll please) I am down 25 pounds and a total of 13 inches over all! The highlights being losing 3 inches EACH on my hips and waist! I am over half way to my end goal and only 13 pounds from my pre-meds weight. My reward: a hot new outfit from Lululemon that is a little too small. Can't wait to keep going! YAY for me!

How are the rest of you doing? What is your most recent success? Let's feed off this positive energy and have an awesome weekend!!

I wish that was my car...I just batted my eyelashes at the owner during a carshow and he let me inside! Being a girl rocks sometimes!
