BEFORE and AFTER - 34 pounds down!
Nov 10 2009 10:22

I went back and found a picture from when I weighed 256. You know - I was expected to feel disgusted at how I looked...but I don't. Mainly because this is the "me" that my grandson first knew - the "me" that he used to cling to. He still loves me, of course, and now I am able to do more with him since my weight has come down, so I am very happy about that.

But I don't want to forget that even though I was very unhappy with my appearance back then, the people who love me, loved me as much then as they do now.

Pictures posted below.

BEFORE - 256 lbs

256 lbs Now - 222 lbs and falling.

That is a very very refreshing outlook on the whole process of losing weight.

I love that you can acknowledge you before the weight loss as the same person and the same person your family loves.

Congrats on the 34 lbs!!! Keep up the good work and the great attitude about the whole thing!
