Tall Boots Picture

I am calling this my goal-ish picture because I am 3 pounds from goal and I never seem to get around to getting pictures taken. I don't have a good picture of me at my highest (293). The one on the left is the day of surgery (see the band on my wrist?) and the middle one is at 6 months out. I am still losing, but very, very slowly which is okay. I feel super comfortable at this size. It kind of feels what I was "born" to be. I get so much support from reading these boards, and from learning from those folks who've gone before us.

If you're just starting, don't get discouraged and don't give up. Focus on what you can do today, because it's all we have. Clean eating is its own reward!

:) Happy
