 |  The comparison is staggering...
So, I've been REALLY working out hard at the gym lately, and trying to get more protein pushed in and more water down... but have been discouraged that I'm not seeing results like I'd like to see. Of course, at almost 2 years out, it's a real struggle to lose weight. But I'm too determined to give up now.
After reading Rainbow's post about how she was having a "bad day" and went back to look at her old pics to give herself a boost, I thought... "maybe I need to do that too!" Not a bad plan. It's helping. I look at the pictures, and the comparison is just blowing me away. I KNOW it was me, but it looks like a me with a medical emergency!! LOL It's like I'm all swollen from a shellfish allergy or something like you'd see on a cheesy Adam Sandler movie. LOL  So... for all you out there who are struggling to lose and find yourself discouraged, it's good therapy to go back and take a look at how far you've come.
So, here's a couple of pics. The first one is me and my sister (I'm on the right, obviously) several months before my surgery. The other is one that someone took of me and the dh last week. (my eyes look wild, the flash on his camera was BRIGHT! LOL)

As for feeling better... YES. I typically feel SOOOOOOOOO much better! Of course, I tried a spinning class at the gym lastnight, so today...I'm feeling old and broken down! haha
Thanks for the encouragement ladies, I really appreciate it.

| It Does Help Doesn't It Steph!
I have been taking pictures all along my journey because I know I am a very visual person and my counsellor suggested it. She said Kim the mental part of the journey is often harder for some than the physical and I knew I would be one of those people. So I decided to make myself see.
Now when I want to eat and it is happening more and more to me..I go to the fridge and look at all my pictures and see that 304 (my highest) is a place I never ever want to be again. I open the fridge and pour myself a glass of crystal lite and walk away....
Not saying I havn't slipped because I have..But more often than not looking at the old me makes the new me walk away....
YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!! AND I KNOW IT'S FRUSTRATING NOT TO BE WHERE YOU WANT!!!
But as my dear friend and buddy (don't really know her personally but love her to death anyway) JOYCE MEYERS says..." I may not be where I should be..But I sure as hell am not where I used to be and this is a whole lot better place" CAN YOU SAY AMEN SISTER! AMEN!
