A before and after look...

I was going for a run with my daughter last night and asked her to snap a pic before we started.  I need to continually remind myself of how far I have come...I need to constantly encourage myself to keep the journey going...I need proof that I have made changes and that I can see those changes if only I will open my eyes.

Like a lot of people, I still see the overweight me when I look in the mirror.  It is a mind boggling fact and I don't understand it...but I am trying to force myself to take a real look and be kinder and more accepting to my own body.  So here is a before and after for posterity...I still want to lose another 15 pounds - but that is NOT going to stop me from celebrating how far I have come !!!
