We got our pictures back yesterday and I couldn't help but want to compare this year's picture to last year's picture. I will be honest, I was shocked at what I saw. I am acutely aware of the amount of weight that I have lost. My wardrobe is COMPLETELY different from even 5 months ago, let alone a year ago. The scale says a VERY different number from last September and more than that, I feel like a different person from last September.
I am healthier. I am stronger. I am smaller. I FEEL better.
Check out the pictures...
September 2010
And side by side so you can see just how different the two pictures are...
So today, I am thankful for the journey that I have been on. I am thankful that I am a happier and healthier me than I was a year ago. I am thankful that I have made my health a priority. I am thankful that I have spent LOTS AND LOTS of hours in the gym and running the streets of San Diego. I am thankful that I have invested in having a trainer who helps to push me further than I would ever push myself. I am thankful that, for the first time in my life, I am aware of what I am putting in my body. I am thankful that I haven't quit, even when it the scale has remained in the same 5 pound range for months. I am thankful that I have committed to going to weekly Weight Watchers weigh-ins and meetings. I am thankful that I haven't missed a single Wednesday weigh-in since starting on January 26, 2010. I am thankful for all of the people who have supported me emotionally and even financially on this journey. I am thankful for the people who have told me that I am an inspiration to them, as it has helped to keep my going. I am thankful that I have stuck with this.
I am thankful!
