So today, I was stopped by 3 different people telling me I'm looking good and they can tell I've lost weight. Made me feel great!!! So I started looking through some pictures to see how far I've come.
I found this picture.. and omg I can't believe it still was in existence... I would have normally torn this up and burned it! But for whatever reason, I'm thankful I didn't... I honestly dont' remember how long ago this picture was taken or how much I've lost since it was taken (my guess is about 50 lbs) ... but DO I know that it's NOT the person I am today.. and I'M NEVER GOING TO BE THAT PERSON AGAIN!!!
I can't believe I"m sharing this photo because honestly it embarasses me... but I know how much these kinds of things, when posted, motivate me. So I thought I should share.
