    Before and After Pictures! (again)

    edited September 2024 in Success Stories
    I hit my goal a few months ago and I posted before and after pictures at that time. My blog story of how I did it is in my signature if anyone cares to read it or look at those pictures. I am posting this now because when I first started this whole process, I gave myself a year. I remember looking at the pictures of me at the pool with my son about 4 or 5 days after I had him and it was VERY hard on me. Here is that picture:

    I took this last year getting my life back on track. Yesterday on June 3rd, it was my son's 1st birthday. It was my official goal date. We went back to the same pool, except this time was a little different. Here I am now:

    I actually own a bathing suit that I am not embarrassed to wear or be seen in for the first time in my life. Good luck to everyone and thanks again for the wonderful comments you wrote on my blog. :flowerforyou:

      Thank you for saying this. It really was a big deal for me to 1. wear a bathing suit in public with out shorts or a t-shirt over it and 2. ASK for my picture to be taken in it. :noway:
