Six Months of Logging and Progress...PICS

I just celebrated logging in 180 days in a row. I thought I'd look through some pics to see my progress, and was pleased with what I saw. I deal with BED, depression, emotional eating, and a few other issues. I have always bounced up and down in my weight, but I can NEVER remember being thin. I wore a size 14 at 8 years old. I have never been small. I am determined to change that.

My problem has never been not moving enough. I keep an extremely active lifestyle and do hard farm work. My problem was eating. I would go through McD's on my way home from work, eat a few cheeseburgers, a milkshake, and a large fry, and then go home and have dinner. I was slowly killing myself, and just getting deeper in depression.

I still binge sometimes. My 180 days have not been perfect. But every day, I have woken up willing to TRY. That's more than I've ever done in the past. I still have a long way to go, but I'll keep going for as long as it takes.

Now for the part I know you want...pics!

I started at 265, but lost the only pic I had of me at that weight when my laptop crashed.
