daaaaaamn!!! YOU LOOK FABULOUS!

I am so jealous that you can post pictures! I am too afraid to see what I look like now. I'm afraid that my photos won't match the scale and I will be devastated.

I am down to 141 (as of a week ago) but I'm afraid that if I take pictures, I'll look like I'm 185+ or something and freak out!!! Purely mental I know but....old baggage for sure!

I have been wanting to do my sixth month pics but I can't! ugh!!!

Congratulations!!!

( I love it that you're so true to yourself!)

Thank you! You know what though- that is why I love pictures...my mirrors lie to me...my eyes and my head do too...but pictures capture any moment with honesty and truth. Sometimes I look bad, and sometimes I look pretty darn good...but I always look like a person who found their second lease on life. Please take lots of pics of yourself- even if you only show them to yourself...you deserve to see the concrete proof of how far you have come and how beautiful you are!

Thank you Fawn! You and your girls look so cute!!!

Its hard to hear about doing everything according to a specific prescription and I know its not sustainable for me for whatever personality flaw reason I have. Its nice to hear its ok to do it on your own terms for what works for you personally for whatever you expect to get out of this.

Hugs!

Be humble or you will stumble.

Thanks for the brutal honesty. It is good to hear the stories that are not perfect. There are many imperfections on our journeys to lose weight. It can be so difficult to stick to doctor's orders, especially when we deal with family and work and school. I've had my share of challenges but I haven't told anyone because I don't want to be judged and I don't want anyone criticizing me for taking a deviation from the given path. I guess what matter is not the path we take, but that we get there in the long run. We have to pick ourselves back up when we make a 'not so good' choice and continue on our journey to a healthier us. Congrats on all your success. YOU LOOK AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
