Almost a year ago I looked like this....

I had been "working out" I did my 6 months of supervised medical weight loss. I was down about 18lbs maybe from my highest (recorded) weight. I could barely walk down the road much less anything else. I remember trying to ride my daughter's bike and the tires going flat and not even being able to get it out of the driveway. I went inside and locked myself in the bathroom that day and cried while my husband, and my two daughters went on a bike ride.

This is me on Easter...

I'm proud to say I rode that bike. My ass hurt the next day but I did it! ;) I not only walk now, but I can run! (slowly...and not that far...but I can do it!) In fact I will be running (and most likely walking..lol) a 5K for my "surgiversary".

It's not all roses and rainbows. I have my ups and downs. I still have to work my ass off (literally)! It wasn't a magic pill, but it did help and I wouldn't do anything differently.

I still fight the brain monster. Where i will look at my pictures and still see myself as fat, or that I don't look any different. I still FEEl like the fat girl, when I am usually the thinnest one in the room. BUT! I feel great. That is what counts the most, right!? :)
