    You are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My goodness! Even in your before pictures, I thought the same thing- you have a smile that radiates.

    I dealt with some serious anxiety/depression for a while, and one thing that took me a while to try was positive self talk. I felt so dumb doing it, and I thought it would be a waste of time, but it ACTUALLY WORKS. I started saying things to myself like "today you are better", "You are in the process of healing", etc. Basically, whatever I said to myself I made sure my language was progressive- as in, acknowledge that I currently AM this positive thing, rather than saying "I will". Even if it starts super tiny (which it did for me), it will grow, just keep doing it. I promise, it is worth it!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Seriously! You look younger now too! You've done so well, I can't wait to get results like you! Keep up the great work! And thanks for the inspiration!


    Edited because I went back and got my cookie! haha But really, wow! I started at 225 and I'm 5'4 and you have seriously given me some motivation! I really needed to read and see your pics! You are just incredible! You should love the body you have carved out and should have plenty of high self esteem because you are rockin them after pics! Well done! I'm glad to hear the eat more thing is helping you! I have made a friend on here who started the group Eat more to weigh less and it's so true, your body definitely responds to the extra cals and drops the weight! Keep doing what you're doing!

    Incredibly inspiring, and it's so good to hear that slow and steady can work. Depression is always the enemy, but we'll get there! You look BEAUTIFUL!
