    Amazing story Sara...thanks for posting this, I too have no photos of me big and I don't have to look hard or anything, I just never had any taken, as was way too embarrassed. Wish I had now, to see how far I have come dagnabit!

    Way to go! You look strong and are one of those smexy *kitten*... ; )

    As I've said before, Sara, you come across as so knowledgeable, clever and strong (in body and mind) that I forget that there was a 'before' and that part of your strength comes from your struggles.

    Amazing photos today. I love the coy back shot :love:

    It must be hard being such a hero and I hope you understand how much we appreciate everything you do on here and the model of sane self-improvement you provide :flowerforyou:
