I've already come a long way...

This WAS me (the one on the left)!

God knows when you need a nice boost in confidence. I'm convinced that's the reason my friend Alison posted a bunch of pictures of me from high school.

Back in high school, I weighed around 200 pounds. I never really thought of myself as "fat," but I should have. I was extremely unhealthy. I didn't exercise much and I ate whatever I wanted.

It wasn't until probably my junior year of college that I got control of my weight. My lowest since this has been 144 pounds. Just a few minutes ago, I weighed in at 161.5. Yes, I've gained 17 and a half pounds since my lowest weight, but I've kept off about 40 pounds. That in itself is a victory!

Alison, thanks for posting the pictures and reminding me that I've already come so far! Only about 25 pounds to go!

Pictures for your viewing pleasure:

I think at this point, I had just started college. I'm the one in the blue shirt. Freshman 50 anyone? My friend Alison is the one who appears to have one leg.

I'm the one on the far right.

I think I was in high school here. I'm the one in the front and I remember thinking that sweater flattered me. UGH!

Me, TODAY!
