Found an old picture of me at my highest weight!
My husband and I were putzing around on our old computer last night, seeing what we all had on there. We came across this gem of a picture. I took this during one of my "I am going to use this new method of losing weight, so here is my before picture" attempts. I believe this before picture was taken before I tried p90x. HA!
This was my highest weight. The failure to lose weight while busting my ass with the exercise program and the strict diet is what finally forced me to bite the bullet and contact a surgeon. I was about 265 pounds in this picture. All of my other before pictures I was 252. It's only 13 pounds, but seeing how big I was really shocked me....it makes me feel a little sad even. I felt miserable, I looked so unhealthy and dumpy, and the inner torment I felt being trapped in that body is still so very real to me. I remember crying after my husband took this picture because I was so embarrassed. It is just surreal to look at this body in this picture and think it isn't me anymore. I don't see a big difference in my other before and after pictures, but my first thought when I saw this picture was "who the F*CK is that?!". I didn't recognize myself...it's too much to accept that I did that to myself. And it is a complete mind trip to think I am "fixing" it now.
And this was me two weeks ago:
