Pics show so much more

Today I've felt like such a failure. Sure the scale is moving slllloooooowwwly but I just haven't been feeling like I'm a success. I looked through the success stories and thought that it might do me good to do a before/after comparison. I looked at a pic of me in about Dec of 2010 and cried, which isn't even my largest. I cann't believe I was ever so big. I know I was above 305 but I'm truly not sure how big I was.

Here's how it looks. I HATE the dark spots under my eyes but they are in my DNA.

I'm 5ft 2in. In pic one I'm wearing a very tight size 32/34 (thought I was up even higher on Jan 1 2012) and in pic two I'm wearing a much nicer 22/24.

    Thanks everyone. I'm working hard on it. I went skating Saturday and broke my ankle in 4 places and the joint popped out. I had to have emergency surgery where a plate and lots of screws were put in. I will be down for a little bit but I refuse to let it take me out. The Dr says I will be in a a brace for at least 6 weeks. My plan is to concentrate on intake like never before until i can get back in the gym.
