I was looking through old photos this morning and was struck by how much I've changed in a short period of time.

May 2011 - February 2013

July 2011 - February 2013

But it goes beyond just physical appearance. Today I am all about being fit and feeling good, not some stupid number on a scale. I have avoided diabetes and high blood pressure which effects many in my family. I try new things, I am more confident, and I do not let size define me.

Keep working hard and do this for YOU. You are valuable, capable, and beautiful whether you are 400lbs or 100lbs.
