Can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to share the "Before" photo...it's painful for me to look at...


I know exactly what you mean, Donald! When I look at my before pic, I can't even BELIEVE that I was that big. How did I let myself get there without even realizing it??

I have a question for you...do you look the same to yourself when you look in the mirror or do you see the slimmer version?

Peace,
Star

Post What I see...

Hi Star! Thanks for your comments and question...

I'd have to say I see the newer, slimmer me. Inside, however, I still carry a lot of the "old me" baggage.

I'm working on it though!

As strange as it may sound, I think it's easier to see myself differently now that I can fit into seats again and because I don't feel so conspicuous in public. It feeds my confidence!

Thanks

Donald

Default Undeniably AWESOME!

I am so inspired by your tremedous success and achievement. It's amazing! After losing 30 pounds, I really don't think people can see the difference yet, but 71 POUNDS! When I reach that ... I'll post my B & A as well. Gosh, ... I'm all excited now just seeing how that transformed you...I can't wait to see the new me.

Thanks for your courage to post the before. You look great!

Keep it up.
