Wow. Regardless of the actual number on the scale, I never realized that I ever allowed myself to get that heavy.
As I look at the first two pictures above, I cannot believe what I'm seeing. The trouble with being a genuinely confident person is that I had zero comprehension that I was that heavy and that unhealthy... until today when I put together the comparison photo in question.
I just keep thinking, over and over again, "Why the hell didn't I see what I was doing to my body?? How did I let it go that far??"
It's great to see my body's changes so blatantly, but it's made me feel guilty for having given up on myself for so long. I'm paying for my mistakes now, as I painstakingly watch the scale drop in minuscule half-pound increments here and there. But you know what? Every time I look in the mirror I see a revitalized version of myself -- I really do look like a different, healthier person.
I'm definitely happy with my slow-and-steady-wins-the-race progress. =)
You look fantastic. I'm in a similar state - though just at the start of my weight loss. It was like all of a sudden I looked in the mirror and saw a different person than the one I'd been carrying in my head.
