snapshot of a journey...Before and Now

hey guys.
Don't have a ton to say tonight..I have a PILE of laundry to do..
I was looking at some pictures over the weekend.
Sometimes it is hard to remember how far we have come.
Even if we have come a million miles.
Sometimes I feel like the old me never existed.
you know.
I burned my fat pants.
I cut my hair...and dyed it.
I started plucking (sorry NOW, I never could grow a unibrow anyways...)
I began to take care of myself.
I exercise 6 days a week.
I watch no television.
and I think any thing is possible.

Nothing crystallized the transition more than two pictures..
I debated doing this because you are supposed to do this when you hit goal weight.
Which I haven't....but I figured till then, this will do..
It won't make my goal weight picture any less dramatic..
Not for me anyways.

I had popped up the picture on the left and thought I would look at the latest picture I had right beside it...and I just sat staring, because nothing says it like these two pictures.
From my hair, to my body to the fact that I say with everything about me in that first picture "I am ashamed" to the second picture that screams "I am happy."

That is what this can do for you.
It can strip away all the lies and it will show you who you really are and should have been all along.
