Ok, I have debated and debated whether I wanted to show this or not. But I have decided that it's important that I do. I want to show you what this band has done for me. It has literally saved my life. I had let go of all hope. I was so fat and always in pain. I hardly moved anymore and I really didn't care about life. I had shut out my family and friends and rarely went out of the house. Now, almost 90 pounds down, I want you to look at my eyes. Yes, there is a difference in the face, but look at my eyes. I think they speak volumes about why we are all here, and what we are all fighting for. I love you guys an awful lot to share this with you. *chuckles* I hope it means as much to you as it does to me.

Far left, taken about a week after surgery (287lbs). The other two were taken last night, by me, in the bathroom mirror (218lbs). I was suddenly struck by how much more alive I looked, so I grabbed the camera. *laughs*
