I know that woman. This was October 2009.
I will never be embarrassed by what size clothing I used to wear. I LOVE LOOKING BACK AT PICTURES AND CREATING BEFORE AND AFTER SHOTS. I use these images to remind me of all I have accomplished. Here is a little secret: I rarely see in the mirror what you see when you look at me.
I need concrete evidence.
I create before/after pictures to remind myself of my evolution. Sometimes I post them to fish for compliments because sometimes, this journey is HARD. Who am I kidding? Everyday this journey is hard. Everyday is a choice: a choice to eat smarter, a choice to get out of bed before sunrise and go swim or run or get on my bike trainer, a choice to continue on this journey.
To all my friends who take the bait when I toss it out there: THANKS! I needed to hear that.
"Everyday this journey is hard." A-freakin'-men! It IS hard, but it's worth it. I too have a hard time seeing a difference when I look in the mirror but looking back at old pictures always reminds me of how far I've come. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it's always inspiring. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Callie!
DeleteIf it was easy everybody would do it. The journey to your destination is what makes you the person you are and will be. Ironman!
