My success story

I would like to share my success story with you, only because the success stories here with pic are so inspiring to me and help me to keep going even if the scale is fighting with me. This is taking so much courage to post my before pic, my hands are literally shaking right now. About 2 years ago I was suffering from serious stress and depression and the pounds piled on so fast it was sickening. I dealt with stress the most wrong way possible, and I seriously paid for it. My before pic was this past August and when I saw that pic of myself, I was beyond mortified. I was embarrassed, ashamed, and angry with myself for getting to that point. That same day when I saw that pic, I joined MFP. It has been a struggle at times when the scale doesn't move like I want it to, but thankfully I have some VERY supportive friends here that keep me in check (getting teary eyed now for my gratefulness). I'm also grateful for my non friends here on MFP for the advice and their courage to post pics and share their story. I still have 10 pounds to go, hopefully I'll get there before summer. I'm proud of the hard work and dedication I've put in for myself. I have learned how to deal with stress, and just got rid of the stress I didn't need. (Though posting this is causing great stress! :laugh: ) Please don't judge my before picture, I've judged myself enough and I've promised myself to NEVER let myself get that way again. I'm thinner and stronger and I love myself for who I have become in these past months. Thank you to all who have answered questions on my posts, and who have encouraged me.
