You have to know where you've been.

The other day I found some old film. So i went and got it developed. I was excited to see that it was from 2006 when we lived in Oregon...the sad news....I looked huge! Huge! i remember being bigger but gees, I felt so ashamed and a little tear welded up in my eye. I have been feeling like I am just not trying hard enough and I was feeling so much like a failure at this who losing weight thing....but those pictures reminded about where I have come from. In those pictures from Oregon I weight in at 276, that is also how heavy i was when i got pregnant with Zoey, I managed to only gain 8 lbs the whole pregnancy until i became ill at 30 weeks, from 30 to 32 weeks i skyrocketed from 276- 297! 297!! Once I had Zoey and with the help of my works biggest loser competition I was able to drop to 222 in 5 months, although I gain a bit back I am back down to 239 and continuing, even if it is slow to my goal of 160-170. I know I can do it and seeing how far I have come means alot!
