I had a wedding to attend this weekend and we all know what that means.. lots of dreaded pictures! This time was different for me, I didn't shy away to the back row and felt like a million bucks in my new dress. Couldn't wait to see the pictures. Then when I saw them I was a little bit in shock.. Is that really me? It was almost the same denial feeling I used to get when I looked at my pictures before the weight loss. My brain has definitely not caught up with my body, but I was just so excited I had to share here what 120 pounds gone looks like! I see other people's success stories on here and its weird that I don't relate right away. Then I say to myself.. Wait a minute.. I have done that too!! Woo hoo!
I was at my heaviest weight in the first picture at 309 and my current weight is 190. I am 5"10" and am down from a Size 24 to a 14. I still have a ways to go but I feel amazing!
Suggestion to anyone who hasn't taken progress pics yet. JUST DO IT--it really helps!

What an accomplishment! You look wonderful. I am in the same boat as you. I have lost quit a bit of weight but like you said my mind hasn't caught up to my body. When I go shopping in stores I still go into the plus size department, because I still don't feel like I lost as much as I have. I know this must sound crazy. I still haven't taken the plunge to take pictures yet. After reading your post maybe I will now. Thanks~0

Thanks everyone.. the dress was definitely a splurge, but I figured that I have been shopping in thrift stores for the past 18 months since I was changing sizes so fast that I deserved something nice for this occasion. I felt a little guilty, but it was worth every penny! A girls gotta treat herself right?0
