BEFORE – AND NEVER AGAIN

So I realized I’ve posted a lot of pics of me “now” – and mainly it’s because I’m so proud of my hard work.

However I think it’s only fair to post some “before” pics. Which pains me to do, but I think showing progress is important. I know I get most inspired by seeing those before and afters. So as much as it’s hard to show “befores” it’s important.

45 pounds has made a world of different to me and I still have some work left to do.

The pictures from last year, most notably the one of my in purple which was from going out the night before Thanksgiving was the picture that made me realize I was out of control and needed to get a grip on my life.

*Editor’s note: I lost SOME weight in late 2006-2007, but gained it back and probably then some. So really the first three photosets aren’t “progess” pictures because it wasn’t until January 1, 2010 that I changed my lifestyle.
