Power of Pictures

For 4 weeks I've been really working. Really making an effort. Really watching my carbs/calories. Really exercising, almost everyday. I wish I had taken measurements from the beginning, but I am oh so grateful that I decided to take weekly pictures. In the beginning I almost cried when I saw what I had allowed myself to become. But last night I was actually somewhat impressed with what I have done. The scale hasn't been showing me what the pics do, in fact, the scale tells me not a single thing has changed (which is still unbelievably frustrating). In the past, I have gotten to this point, not been able to see it on the scale and given up. These photos are my motivation!! I would recommend the weekly photos to EVERYONE!! It makes a huge difference. When I'm thinking I don't feel like working out, I look at them. When I feel like it doesn't matter, I look at them. When I feel like giving up, I look at them. They keep me going!

My husband said last night: That ever since I started doing this healthy kick, I look healthier. I asked what he meant, and he said I look happier. I feel happier, I don't feel as disgusted with myself. I feel there is hope that I can look how I've always wanted to look.
