Before pictures... EEEK!!

   Yep.  You read that right.  Before pictures.  My first thoughts on that... NO WAY!  Not ever!  However... in the past few weeks I've been thinking about how nice it would be to have taken before pictures.  For my eyes only really.  But it's nice to see the progress.  I've already lost over 9 inches and am going to loose a lot more!  So I'm sharing a before picture to help you along as well.

   That's me.  First one on the left.  This was my sister-in-law's wedding this past September 2013.  I'm HUGE.  I was so excited to be a part of her special day, and yet so sad that this is how I would look.  Awful.  But that was last year.  Before starting ANYTHING.  I'm down 6 pounds and over 9 inches and feeling good.  I've got lots more energy and I'm a lot more positive about... LIFE.  It's a great feeling.  Sure I have those days that I struggle.  That I feel like I can't do it anymore.  That it's not going to happen and I should just give up.  But then where would I be?  I may not ever get down to the size I was in high school, but I will get down to a normal size and I'll be happy and healthy!  And that's great!
