Before and After... So Far

So a few people have asked me to post some before and after pictures, which is kind of funny since I am not done losing weight. But since I have lost a significant amount of weight so far, I guess it's a valid request.

To be honest, it was kind of hard to even find a recent picture of me at my peak weight, and I'm not even sure if this is the best

one, but it's definitely embarrassing enough, so I'll stick with it. I never liked to have pictures taken of me back then. And since I have been losing weight on and off since last February, my before picture had to be a little old. This picture is from last Halloween. If you can't tell, I was Miss Peacock. This picture makes me sad because me and my friends dressed up together as the ladies from Clue and were so excited, and I got all dolled up for it. But a pretty face doesn't hide a fat body.

So here is my after picture. Taken almost a year after my before picture. I'm in my backyard with my roommate's puppies. You can really tell in the face! I know it's the same person, but I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I hardly recognize myself. I have a friend who lost a bunch of weight, and she told me she got rid of all of her "fat" pictures. I can't really see myself doing that. They are still

a record of my life, no matter how much I don't like how I look in them. We'll see though, because I really hate looking at some of those old pictures.

There's a second picture showing how stinking cute those puppies are.

So there they are. I still have more weight to lose, I haven't forgotten about that. When I'm done losing weight, we'll see how dramatic the before and after pictures are.
