What? Do you think I'm proud of these pictures? Ppppfff! No! But, of course I'm going to post them. Look, the only person who doesn't already know what I look like is...ME. It's true. This is what I look like. Yes, it is WAY worse than I thought. Yes, it makes me want to cringe. But it's the truth about my body. It's how it really looks. I didn't wear any baggy shirts or pants to try to hide (or make myself look better on my after pictures). FYI--I DON'T HAVE ANY BAGGY SHIRTS OR PANTS ANYMORE! I grew into those!!!
It's December 4, 2011. Tomorrow I will wake up and make a Medifast shake in my new Blender Express Plus. I will talk to my new friend Shirley at some point. (Hi, Shirley! Love you already!!!) I will likely hear from some other friends who know tomorrow is *Day One.* I'm ready!
We do all have to start somewhere and I'm so proud of you for starting right where you are. And for being brave enough to start again at all. I'm rooting for ya, Julia!!
ReplyDeleteLove you too, sweetie. Love your bravery, your courage to be honest with yourself, and with others. You are already making the choices that the really successful ones make. This past weekend, I told my weight loss story at the Take Shape for Life training event. It was a little surreal to tell 500 (or however many there were) of these people that I'd lost 191 lbs. My start day was only 15 months ago, but it feels like a different lifetime. I started with far less clarity of mind and less determination than you have, so if I can do it, you'll completely ROCK this. I'm just gonna sit back and watch you FLY.
