27 Will Be My Golden Year!

One year ago I was so excited to celebrate my 26th birthday. I was throwing a murder mystery party that took place in the 1920s. The next morning I got the pictures back from my friend and it was those pictures that made me realize I was fat. I still didn't want to do anything about it quite yet, and I just continued to get more and more depressed until I decided to change my life last April. It took me 4 months to change, but I did and am so happy I did. These pictures of me are night and day.

This was me turning 26 and roughly 220 lbs!

   

This is one year later at 27 and 170 lbs!



I am just so happy at the success I've had and how happy I have truly become. I spent my birthday with my closest friends and had wonderful sushi and lots of drinks, but I know come tomorrow I'm back on the road to success. Anyone, I repeat, ANYONE can have this success! I still have a ways to go, but man I am loving this feeling already. 27 will be the best year ever!

Before & Afters... Amazeballs

So my weigh in this week is still the same at 172. I did lose 1/2 in in each leg, but that's about it this week. I would like to think that my muscle mass is what's taking over, but I really don't know. I feel thinner each week, and really that's all that matters! Not to mention I finally reached my size 10 jeans! Which brings me to this blog... I know once a month you get to see my body transform, but I wanted to see how different my body looked in some of my old clothes. OH EM GEE this was so much fun! December 2011:   Dress size 14/16 You can't even tell in this after photo, but all that fabric in the stomach has about 2 inches from it to my belly. It also make me look like I have NO BOOBS at all! August 2012:  Dress size 12 I look like a sausage stuffed in that dress! GAH! Look how much longer it is on me now. (Way more appropriate) I even have to take this in just a tad in the chest. I love this dress so much more now than looking back! Wedding Day 2012:  Dress...

You do you, and I'll do me

I read a post the other day that triggered anger in me. It could have been because I read it right after I posted my last entry about all the wonderful things I am doing to get happy, healthy, and fit again...It could have been because I didn't completely agree with everything this person said, I don't know. Let me clarify, it was not about me. It was strictly an opinion of someones. You can ask anyone of my friends and family, I really value people's opinions and most of the time if I don't agree I usually am answering with a simple, "OK" along with a half smile and change of subject. (Now you know my secret, Ha!) I hate confrontation or arguing opinions because those are someones true beliefs and when you truly believe something why go round and round with them to get nowhere! I don't have time for that. I'll let you say your peace and I will say mine, if we don't agree, we move on. It's simple. But here is my peace... Four years ago ...
