It's not the after yet!!

I am not one who likes to draw attention to myself and I don't like to toot my own horn, but right now I am sort of proud of myself. Like many I have struggled with my weight for many years. Well pretty much my whole life. I have had times were I am very over weight and I have had times (high school) were I wasn't really over weight but because the people around me were oh a size 0 I seemed to be over weight. I have always known that the one true way to loose weight and be healthy was to make smarter choices and to cut back on portion size. It has worked in the past for me to loose weight this way, but I always gain it back because I have thin people around me who can eat what ever they want and not gain weight. I begin to feel sorry for myself or think what is one fast food meal really going to do to my waistline. Well one meal full of fat leads to another and another and another until I have gained back all or more of the weight I had lost. So back in February I decided to join Weight Watchers. I did this for the support, tips, and to see others success, and to see others beginnings. When I joined I went in with the mind frame that I was going to do this for the rest of my life. Thank goodness when you reach goal weight you become a lifetime member and no longer have to pay the $9 a week. I thought of taking a before picture and decided that was too cheesy. But I am thankful my sister took a picture of me and didn't listen to me when I told her to erase it. It wasn't intended to be a "before" picture she was just playing around with her camera. This picture was taken about 2-3 weeks after I started weight watchers and I had already lost somewhere around 7 lbs. I have now lost 40ish lbs. and have about 15 more to go. I hate this picture so much. So here I go, my before and now picture, the after is yet to come.
