OK so like most of us probably, I hated taking pictures before (honestly I'm not crazy about it now) but in a conversation with my therapist the other day, I realized I am still not connecting either with how large I originally was or how thin I am now. So I am not posting these for compliments. I am just posting so I can see the reality of the 2 pics side by side and hopefully start to really understand both where I was and where I am now....

@@MrsSugarbabe - what an incredible picture depicting how we all feel! LOVE it!! Thank you for sharing!

And thank you again to all of you for the wonderful kind and encouraging words! Wouldn't have been able to get to this point with out this amazing community! Yesterday I didn't make great lunch choices (too much grazing - couldn't even begin to track). But had a wise dinner (which is how I know I have adjusted by not waiting until the next day to get back on track). Now if I could just incorporate consistent exercise!

You do NOT look the same. You look at least 15 years younger than the first photo. When I saw how much you said you weigh now (170), I thought to myself "There's no way she weighs that", because to me, you look like you weigh no more than 140. You look amazing and so beautiful. I'm not just saying this to be nice. You truly look like a thin, pretty woman. Congrats! <3

You looked good before you absolutely glow now! And those curves! And legs!! :swoon:

@@Daisee68 You look awesome, so much hard work! Try pulling out some of your before clothes and putting them on or holding them up to you, you will realize how much you have changed Congratulations!

So blessed by all of your comments! I SO needed these all this week! Thank you!
