A new me!!! W/pics

I have been on MFP for about a year and a half. My ticker says 52 pounds lost, I am down over 20 inches all over my body, from a size 28, now into 14/16 tops and almost in some 16 pants, my 18's are getting lose. I have been in a plateau of weight loss for what seems like forever, but I think I am finally getting out of it by changing up my eating and some of my work outs. Even though at times I think I should have lost more weight by now, I think of all that I have gained. I have a completely new life! I have more 5K t-shirts in my closet then regular ones, I have completed 7 different 5K's, a 10K, a sprint triathlon and will start training for a half marathon soon. I love sweating and work out clothes more than I could ever imagine. I LOVE for my picture to be taken now, just so I can smile and say WOW, look how far I have come. My kids love the healthier lifestyle, my oldest saying he can't wait to run 5K's just like his mom. I had the courage to leave a troubled marriage, fall in love with myself and enjoy this new life I have created. I found confidence that I never knew existed deep inside of me. I am stronger now, I see definition in my legs, arms and I see BONES!!!! I can run with my kids, play tag and wrestle around and not feel like I am dying. The life I had before, I was simply existing! NOW I am actually LIVING!!!! Yes, I have had days, weeks and even a few months that my food choices were horrible but I still hit the gym. I have taken short breaks from the gym, I have had times I didn't want to work out! But I am still here, I am still getting stronger and sticking to this. I will see this complete transformation through. I WILL NOT STOP! I will NEVER EVER go back to the woman I once was! Thank you to all of my MFP friends and family that have been on this journey! You make this so much easier!
