Weight Loss Timeline

I have been wanting to do a photographic timeline of my weight loss since I hit my goal weight back in September.  Now I’m glad I waited.  After hitting my goal weight, it’s hard to feel my body changing.  A lower number always meant I did the right thing and made the right choices.  However, putting this timeline together shows me how much I’m STILL changing after hitting the magic number.

The more I look at the old photos of me, the more I can’t hate her.  There’s so much of her that’s still with me today.  In a lots of ways, I still feel just like her.  There are days I feel no better than that person.  It just happens.  So I can’t hate her because she will always well….be me!

On the other hand, I am so clearly NOT that person any more. But it isn’t because I lost the weight.  It isn’t because I counted calories.  It definitely isn’t because I logged hours at the gym.  It’s because I changed on the inside.  I became independent.  I made new friends and had new experiences.  It’s because I DID something with my life.

I’ve been struggling with something to measure for a while now.  I think I just need to relax and enjoy where I am.  I don’t mean relax at the gym or with my fitness level because I just truly love it now.  I mean mentally.  I think I am still putting way too much mental thought into this whollllllllllle thing.

Today I feel awesome.  I feel like I kicked my obesity’s ass.  Take a look!
