Ok, so I finally found a 'before' pic. Even though it doesn't show me 'fully' it def shows my 'girth'. I actually wasn't even as big as my highest weight in this pic. When I saw this, it made me want to cry. It brought back all my insecurities and feelings I had when i was this big. So here it is.......
After...and this is the first full body pic I have EVER posted....
Before face shot...
After face shot....
I still have about 60 more lbs to go...This whole thing started on MFP...a bunch of really inspiring women took pics of themselves in their bathing suits and it really empowered me to take one myself. We have to learn to love ourselves no matter what we look like. I know I will never be 'bikini ready'...but I AM ME READY. if that makes any sense. I need to love the girl in the first pic before I can fully love the girl in the second. I won't lie...the pic was hard to look at. BUT. I'm trying.
