My parents were down visiting my family last week. Whenever they come, we always have such a good time but my parents love to take pictures. I used to always cringe a few days after they leave because the dreaded email would come with the dreaded photos. sigh. Well, for the first time that i can remember, I opened those photos and was pleasantly surprised. I actually like this photo!! I wasn't picking it apart for all of my physical shortcomings!! Hey - look at me!! I look like a contented, happy individual!
Please note - I have at least 15-25 pounds left to go. I am sure that some will look at this photo and see their before pic, but that is ok. I am content knowing that I am still on the road. I love NSVs!!! They are so much better than scale victories.
Just to refresh - this is my before pic at 225 pounds.

And here is the photo that made my day!! In this photo I am 174 pounds.
