So today I was looking at my pictures from last summer. The one picture that got my attention the most was a family photo of me my son and husband at one of our camping trips. I remember during this photo I smiled because I knew it was going to be my last summer feeling so helpless with my weight. I cant wait to see what this summer will look like. I cant wait until summer comes and I can compare photos from last summer to this years summer. Is anyone else looking to compare photos from last summer to this coming summer?

Sure am, not that I was that cute in 2018 butI have got to look smaller now!????

I have a favorite picture taken 2 years ago while on vacation in Chicago. It's a picture with my sisters. I was at my heaviest of 232 lbs.. I'm going back to Chicago this summer 73 lbs. lighter. I'm not dreading having my picture taken this time with my sisters!

I'm comparing a cruise photo of me 4 months ago (a month pre-op) to now and can tell a big difference even at 25 pounds lost. I felt more confident in a bathing suit this time.

And confidence, pride and belief in yourself, and that kind of stuff is so good. Maybe this summer I won't hide from cameras and even cell phones, sure used to, even offered to be the photographer to keep from being immortalized at the size I was.

Hopefully I’ll sweat less
