Another Before Pic

Wow...what a way to really understand.  I was going through photos this am for my mom and I came across this one.

I was a little peeved this morning because the scale was up around 135 as opposed to the 130 I normally hang around.

This put it into prespective.  According to the date stamp, it was taken just over a year prior to surgery.

I remember being fluffy.  I remember being a size 24.  I can honestly tell you I DON'T remember looking like this.

You've done such an amazing job!!! I think many of us didn't see ourselves the way others saw us. I know I didn't---I was sometime shocked when I looked in the mirros or looked at a photo of me. You continue to be a real inspiration for many of us. Thanks for sharing the photo!

that's just awesome Pam.. what an inspiration.  Now put that picture next to a current one so you can see just how TINY you really are!

Its true what they say - a picture us worth a thousand words and this one says it all for you!!

Pam,

I looked at your profile pics, and what an awesome transformation you have made!  People like you are a total inspiration to me!  CONGRATULATIONS on your hard work.

Debbie

Congratulations on seeing the new you. What an awesome job you have done with your tool. You are truly an inspiration.

Great job you are doing!!!  Great picture to remember how far you have come

Pam,

All I can say is WOW.  You literally look like a totally different person, except that you both have an awesome smile!  Congratulations!

Karen

I don't remember looking like I did either...but I also never looked....I stayed away from cameras and mirrors...so how would I have known right?  You have done a fantastic job!!

Amazing transformation.  I never liked having my picture taken and I still shy away from it.  Deidre said we should get a family portrait taken because we are all going to a wedding in two weeks and it will probably be ages before we get that chance again.  I shuttered.  I think I will always be a fat chick inside and I do prefer that.  It keeps you humble and I think the best personality traits I have are from being overweight.  I didnt judge others.  I was extremely caring about others. 

As for your weight teetering.  It's going to.  Different things will effect it..    Your time of the month.. water retention and other factors.  I think the most imporant thing to focus on is that you are in a healthy weight range and that is all that matters!

You are an inspiration and a good friend to all of us!
