First Ever Before Picture

By me posting this on a very public thread, I am overcoming a HUGE self-esteem issue. I never show my stomach, I avoid all bathing suits, and I just try to not even look in the mirror most of the time. I have realized that I must face the facts and face myself if anything is going to change. By taking this picture I realize I'm not as "big" as I see myself through my own eyes. Actually, I think I carry my weight well (I don't think I look as heavy as I actually am.). Feel free to comment or whatever, I just wanted to post this for me and future reference. Oh, and I'm 5'5. For some reason people like to ask how tall you are lol

I'm actually kinda excited about the no muffin top too (:
I've got a long way to go, but I'd never get there if I don't start somewhere. (:
