*Gulp* Okay, here goes... (pics)

As much as I DESPISE the first pic, i included it to show myself just how far I've come. Something that is crazy though, is that i can only see the big change in pictures. In the mirror, not so much.

I'm not crazy about the May pics. I think the lighting on the living room is too bright. Plus, in the first on I am cheesing *too* hard! :) My favorite pic so far is the April one. I think is the one where I can really see how much happier I am. Anyway, here they are:

March 2008	Spring 2008?	May 2008	November 2008
December 2008	January 2009	January 2009	April 2009
May 2009	May 2009

OH MY GOSH....YOU ARE SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!

I Can't believe the change in you....I mean...I can...you have lost SO MUCH weight, but the difference in your photos is amazing!!!  I love the April pic, but the May pics are by far my favorite....you look so pretty & so happy....your eyes are amazing w/your red hair.....I just love it!

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG...you should have slapped these babies up online months ago.....what an inspiration....you look great & so happy....I love these!!!

xo, Micheala.

Oh, Micheala... thank you so much! Like I said before, I avoided pictures for so long, this is kind of a new thing for me. I still am fighting the urge to delete the post.

Anyway, thank you for your kind comments. :)

FIGHT THAT URGE!! Don't you dare delete it....I even showed a friend of mine (who desperately needs WLS and is convinced I am just "lucky" with my weight loss) your pictures so she could see the amazing change in you!!! You are doing so great & look FAB!! xo, M.

Aww, M, you are too sweet!

OOOHHHHH  verryy pritty!

Thanks!

Rosie,

You look great!  It was sooo worth it, right?

Congrats

TY! Absolutely, without a doubt!

 Rosie!!!  OMG, I never would have guessed the gal in the May 2008 picture and the May 2009 picture were the same person!  You have done a fantastic job!

I'm like you, though, it is harder to see the changes in the mirror than it is to see it in pictures.  But I'll catch glimpses of myself in mirrors at the gym and and it does surprise me.  Oh, that's ME!  I'm still joyous in the fact my boobs are bigger than my spare tires.  That's gonna keep me happy for a long time!

Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing, you super cutie, you!
