48 pounds later, my face is back!

All this time, I'd been looking at my body. I didn't realize until tonight that my face had changed! And even then, I didn't see it until people said something about the recent pic :bigsmile:

THIS is why I'm taking pics along the way!

    Yay, good for you...getting brave MAY take pics but unsure yet. People like you are what's making me think I might. You look very pretty, you can still it's you but you look quite different and your artwork is appreciated, that's cool to look at the background and stuff. if you're artsy have you ever gone on polyvore?

    I almost didn't take pics. I didn't take my before body pic until I was about 5 pounds in and I really had to work myself up to it. The exercise of forcing myself to see my body actually helped me come to terms with myself (think "being fat doesn't define me, it's just where my body is right now"). And now I'm able to see my progress. So do it! :happy:

    I'm a graphic designer, so I can't leave well enough alone :laugh:

    Thank you! I've been doing this since the middle of July 2012 :)

    I follow MFP's caloric guidelines. I don't really pay attention to macros, I just try to keep a balance. I use a Fitbit, too. :)

    Activity-wise, other than my gym time, I'm pretty much sitting down at the computer all the time. When I'm at the gym, I'm running (I used C25K) and heavy lifting.

    I find that when I overthink things, I'm not as successful. I eat what I want in moderation, work out 3-4 days a week and don't worry about it so long as the scale and the measuring tape numbers are going in the right direction. But, that's me! I am lucky in that I don't have huge food issues other than portion control ("oh, THAT'S a cup??"). No binge eating/ purging/ trigger foods, so my struggle isn't as great as some.

    So, be realistic, be kind to yourself and have a sense of humor. :)
