Face transformation! A friend from high school tagged me in some pictures from our senior year (2004).
Eleven years ago, I weighed close to 400 pounds (I never knew an exact number until 2008). I was not happy with myself. I was not eating healthy, or exercising. At this point in my life, I probably didn’t even know whay to do to begin being healthy. I let my weight control me and keep me from doing things. I never had a boyfriend in high school. I never kissed anyone. I never went to football games. I went to one dance, plus prom, because people told me I’d regret it if I didn’t, and I was miserable at both. I told myself and everyone I was fine, but I can clearly see my face in this picture, and know how unhappy I was.
Fast forward to 2015. I’m on a journey. I’m happy with parts of my life. Other parts cause me a great deal of stress. I complain a lot. I’m still not where I want to be weight or health wise, but I AM healthy overall. I am happy overall. I don’t let my weight keep me from doing things. I have a boyfriend who is wonderful and we have a daughter who is perfect. I have friends who cheer me on and make me want to be a better person.
I still have a long way to go, but I’ve come so far. It’s easy, on these long, drawn out journeys, to forget where you came from and how far you’ve come. I don’t want to ever lose sight of the progress I’ve made, because that progress is one of my biggesr motivators to keep going.
