Where I have been

As I was looking through some old pictures, I was amazed at what I saw.

I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Moreso in the past decade, but I've never been thin.

In 2002 I joined the military. I was 153 when I joined, and in the 3.5 years I was there, I gained 50 lbs. The last picture is of me before I was discharged, at my heaviest weight (203).




This picture was taken in May of 2008, when I was around 165 lbs. I would go on to lose 6.5 more pounds before getting pregnant with my son in September of 2008.


I know I can do it. I know it's possible. This time, I'm ready and it's time.
