Sometimes we need a really good reminder of the long road we have traveled on our journey to a healthier us. As I've talked about in previous posts, I've been pretty frustrated with my lack of loss the last few months and gaining some weight back and there are days that I'm quite human and think about giving up. I don't, but it does cross my mind that it's too hard or not worth it, even though I know it is. Then a wonderful friend stumbles upon a picture of the old you and it's a nice little slap in the face that you have come SOOOO far and will never go back to looking like that. Thank you, Melody, for my reality check today. I hardly even recognize myself in this picture. Yeah, that's me on the far right in the black and white dress. Holy smokes.

FYI - I think you look beautiful in both the old photo and your more recent photos... just so you know. So, please don't think of the old you as "looking like that" but the new you as "how much better you feel". How you look now or looked then is not as important as the fact that you are a great and strong person. Happy new year!
