Nearly 40 pounds later. :) (pic)

Decided to post a before and after.

On the left is me at my highest weight which is 160 pounds. That photo was taken about 3 months after a breakup, which I didn't realize then, but this was the cause of my weight gain. During summer I decided to make a lifestyle change. It was the best decision I could have made.

A little over a year later, here I am at 123 pounds. I am happy, healthy, but I think most important of all, I am confident. Don't get me wrong, I fluctuated along the way and had some self-esteem issues. But I think that is what made the journey much more worth it.

Thank you to all of my friends and supporters on MFP! You are all truly wonderful people and I am grateful for every single one of you.

Here it is!
P.S. Ignore my awkward "picture taking" pose haha.
