What a difference a year makes!!
I keep a copy of a pic of me at my heaviest on my cell phone so I can show it off and see it myself when I need to. I realized the other day that it had been exactly one year ago that that pic was taken. I took some new pics on the anniversary of my heaviest pic. Quite the difference!!
I have not had a moment where I have regretted this path I have chosen. I love my life and am so happy I chose it.

I am SO printing this out and showing it to my DD. She needs to see how amazing a person can look after losing a mess of weight, when they look in the mirror now and see nothing but hopelessness. She's too young to give up, but YOU, my dear girl, are a shining example to give her something to shoot for!!!
Dare I ask.... how's your love life???

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
It's funny you should ask....too bad you missed coffee on Saturday!!! LOL On Friday night he asked me "so......do you consider us boyfriend/girlfriend?" To which I replied "No, we haven't had that talk yet."
So we are now.
It just went so fast....i'm freaking out a little bit but I do like the guy a lot. We'll see how things progress.
Thank you for your kind comments. I hope your daughter finds the hope you want her to.
