girlygirlatheart's Journal, 09 April 2009

As promised... iiiitttsssss PICTURE TIME!

Okay, I should probably be posting before/after body shots, but I think I will hold off on those until I am 100% comfortable with my body. I am still very much a work-in-progress.
Plus, i need someone to take a full body picture of me, and my usual camera man was not available today. lol
I guess these pictures will do. This is the oldest picture I can find of me. I remember weighing 283 in September 2006, and between then and spring of 07, I'd lost about 20 pounds.
As I said in my earlier journal, I have come a long way, and I think this will give me a more real perspective on the issue.
I'm a very visual person haha
So, ladies, and the occasional gent that may be reading my journals....

This is a picture of me in may of 2007. I was 18.
It was very, VERY hot that day, so my hair is less than perfect, and it was black and brown for prom. I was wearing chunky facial jewelry- ewe! lol I am glad I have grown up, even just a little.



(roughly 260)




And this is me, today, april 8th 2009. Almost two years later. Complete with red hair!


(roughly 160? Okay, okay... just one pound to go!)


When I look in the mirror, i still see myself as the 283 pound version. But, I know she's not here anymore. Somehow I need to let my subconscious know that.

I stumbled on your post today. The difference in those two pictures is amazing. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Good wishes for continued success.

Oh my goodness!!! What a difference!! You are very beautiful! As I look at your "now" picture I can't help but think about all your posts about your struggles with eating and the comments from your mother about your food consumption. I know you love your mom but she's "cracked in the head!!!" if she thinks for one milli-second that you are overweight!!! Holy Crap is right cokezero!!! My goodness gracious girl!! I am soooo impressed. Yogamama posted "before" and "now" pictures too ... maybe I'm going to really have to get brave and have someone snap a photo of me now and see what I can find in a "before" picture so I too can begin to appreciate visually the progress made. FANTASTIC!!!

Awe I'm in tears!! You are adorable! You look beautiful in both pictures...It's great that you have lost weight and feel good about yourself. Well I have all boys (infact 5) and if I had a daughter you could be her!! You'd fit right in the family as I have natural red hair. Your mom could be jealous as your counselor said...I would be if you were my daughter.

HOLY SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIET!!! HAHA!! YOU LOOK SO AWESOME!!! YOU ARE TOTALLY MY HERO EVEN IF YOUR 'A WORK IN PROGRESS!' Sincerely, I hope one day you do see yourself for the beautiful person you really are, inside and out! YOU GO GIRL!!! And, yeah your mom has some issues, but mom is mom. Gotta see above her and live for yourself, her struggles are her own.

Wow, you look absolutely amazing. You've come SO far. You should be proud. Congratulations! And I absolutely ADORE red hair on you!

WOW! You were gorgeous then and gorgeous now! No wonder your mom is jealous! I know I am!

OMG, what a beautiful woman! You have worked very hard against some very high odds. You should be so very proud of all you have accomplished. I have a son your age and I know how hard it is to be 21 and have to work so hard for things that come so easy to others. You are a wonderful inspiration to many many young (and us older ones too) women. Keep up the hard work you are so worth every bit of effort you have poured into yourself. Amazing beautiful girl!!!
