I know there was another thread for this last year, but I've searched through 40 pages of old threads and can't find it

So I'm starting a new one!

I hate to toot my own horn, it kind of makes me feel uncomfortable, weird I know.

I was feeling a little down on Monday because I weighed in up 14 lbs from where I was last august. I reminded myself that I'm still down overall from this time last year, but you know, a gain always feels like a gain even when its still part of an overall loss.

Last night I was babysitting and going through old pictures on facebook, I found one of me at my heaviest, I want to say this is around 2005, but I'm not sure. I honestly can't say how much I weighed in this pic as I stopped weighing at 190 lbs. A picture I had long since cropped myself out of, but the original was still showing on my sisters page with me tagged in it. I was stunned to see it again, and not happy to see it at all. Then I thought about it and decided to compare it to a picture of me on Christmas eve. I was feeling all depressed that I had gained weight, but this really put it in perspective for me.

I guess my point is, for any of you that are feeling down about adding a few lbs or for those who haven't achieved their desired goal yet. Think about how far you've come, even if you haven't lost any weight yet. Take comfort in knowing that you are on the right track and you are doing what is best for your body. It may take years but you are working in the right direction.

Sorry if this picture loads up gigantic, I don't know how to fix that, lol.
