New dress = time for new before/after shots.

I was trying to explain to someone earlier about how looking at my before pics fills me with a lot of shame. Even though I've lost almost 65 pounds, I still feel like the person in the before photo is me (well, it IS me) and l am just as embarrassed by it now as I ever was. I'm sure others can relate.

Anyway, that said - it's pretty hard for me to post a before pic like this, but it's gotta be one of the worst photos I have of myself during that time. The sad thing is that I had already lost weight when the photo was taken.

The new dress came from White House Black Market for anyone that is curious, and I'm not even wearing spanx!

SW: 215
CW: 152
GW: ? Eager to get into the 140's right now
Height: 5'4"
Age: 34
Misc: I exercise a minimum of 3 days a week (boot camp). I love to cook and eat a fairly balanced vegetarian diet. Some of you may have seen my veggie food thread in the other forum: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1041836-vegetarian-meals-part-2-photo-heavy I started somewhere around a size 20 in jeans and over the weekend I bought a pair of 10s that have a little room to spare. Getting into a single digit size is a surreal concept that is hard for my brain to grasp, but I hope to get there. My cat's name is Stalker Cat and she's always photo bombing me.

    You look fantastic! And don't feel so down when looking at your old pictures. I know it brings back a feeling of "why did I let myself go" etc... but think that you did something about it and you've made a positive change. You're definitely an inspiration.

    You look fantastic! Love the dress. I have to admit, I struggle between being proud of myself for having lost 50ish pounds and ashamed of myself for having gotten to that place. Keep up the great work!

    As for the embarrassment, well, give it time, and your current state will become the new normal. :)

    Truly inspiring, congratulations.

    I think your brain will catch up eventually, its like when you catch yourself in the mirror sometimes and don't realise its you!!

    I've been fat, thin, fat again and now slowly losing again - when I was slim it took me ages to get used to buying smaller sizes as I saw myself still big for such a long time, but as you get used to the new you it will just become the norm.

    Well done and hopefully in a year's time I will be doing the before and after pics too :flowerforyou:
