i had a great visit with both my family and my friends. it is always nice to get away from home for a bit. this trip meant a lot to me because it was a reward for my hard work. plus i had some great conversations with the various people i went to see.
one of the things i wanted to do was recreate some photos that were taken on my trip in 08. sadly we didn't actually get that done but i wanted to still share some photos of then and now. it is sad to say that i look at pictures of me then and realize i had no clue how i looked. i didn't realize how large i was, how unhappy i was, and how oblivious to my obesity that i was. i can for sure say these photos help reassure me that i will NEVER be where i was before. plus it is fun to see photographically the change i have made! :o) enjoy!
This is sarah, me, and greg at The Highlander last year.
This is me and sarah at The Highlander this year. :o) sorry for the fuzziness, the bartender kinda sucked at the photo taking.
This is me and Sarah at Beef O'Brady's (Charlies was closed on Sunday) this year. So my hair and NC weather... doesn't get along but that is ok. :o)
Final photo of me and sarah at the house last year "getting our booze on".
This is the photo wendy took of me at her house on Thursday after we spent the afternoon on the beach and driving around town. Does anyone else think i might have changed a bit in a year? :o)

I have to admit that BOTH of those shirts left a lot to be desired!!! i think the last picture does the best job of showing a "before" and "after." Really, the change is fantastic! (And that includes the choice in clothes as well! - but - in your defense, it isn't easy finding plus size clothing that has a lot of appeal!)
What's next - Playboy???
P.S. Did you notice that I left one of the "i's" in lower case? I did that just for you and your apparent lack of capitalization skills...
You look fabulous....keep the shirts to always remember how far you've come! Hope all is well.
I stumbled across your blog as I researched Slim 4 Life. I actually did it along time ago and was very successful. I was not successful at keeping the weight off however! I'm going in tonight to start the diet all over again. My goal is to loose about 75 pounds. It was great to read over your blog! I hope you keep adding! I love you recipes too! Please email me if you have any other tips or good recipes jljones@hotmail.com.
