Ok, this is my first attempt posting pictures, so hopefully this works! :ohwell:

So after the holiday bustle, looking at holiday family pictures I was like, who is THAT fat girl in all these pictures??.... oh wait, that's me. :( My husband tried to comfort me by sayng the camera adds 10 lbs and that I am beautiful, but that wasn't good enough for me; I wasn't just looking at 10 lbs, more like 50!

How did this happen? I'll tell ya, for the last 5 years, I have lived in complete denial. I'd had been hiding behind my kids in pictures when people insisted; and then untag myself in Facebook photos when they'd post them or better yet, avoiding pictures alltogether. Looking further back through the albums I found myself depressed that family vacations had no pictures of me, will my kids even remember me being there in the future? This past summer we went to Disney World and I was miserable.

Then... mid-January I had a toothache that bought me into an urgent care center (because toothaches never happen when dentist offices are open!). They took my blood pressure and it as HIGH! They told me to go see my primary care IMMEDIATELY. 3 days later, in the PC office they logged my BP at 180/90. WHAT? So blood pressure medicine for me.

I could not believe how quickly my life got out of control, now more than ever I was determined to make changes; for me and my family! It's bad enough to not be in the pictures, but to not be there at all anymore would be ever worse!

I'm proud to say in 60 days, I'm down 26 lbs and on Monday my doctor logged my BP at 114/74 and said "My Child you are HEALED!" Amen! :smile:

No more hiding, here I am; halfway to my goal... let me know your thoughts!
