So, January 2011 I saw these picture of myself (I am on the right)on facebook, IMMEDIATELY untagged myself, and cried myself to sleep. I honestly can't even believe I am posting these....I never let anybody ever take full body pictures of me!

I couldn't believe I had let myself get so unhealthy. I decided to go vegan, for health and ethical reasons, and I am down 43 pounds so far! I just took this. Please excuse the embarrassing fruit pajama pants, hehe!

Sometimes, living with myself everyday, I get frustrated and feel like I'm not making enough of a change physically and don't look any different. These pictures make me feel a lot better though!

I have decided to remain completely dedicated and choose healthy food in hopes to lose 60 more by the end of this year!

    I thought I was the only one doing the untagging thing. Can I say that even with the weight you have a very beautiful face. You look wonderful!

    Yeahhh, I even set it so other people can't see the pictures I am in tagged in, haha. I can't wait for the day when I am comfortable enough to disable that.

    Thank you so much for the compliment! It really made my night. :)
