The before picture actually makes my stomach hurt. It makes me want to cry. To reach out and tell that woman that no longer exists that there is a way out. You see, at that point I had given up. I believed at the time that I would just be fat until the day I died. 2 years later..........I have a new outlook.
My band has given me the greatest gift.....my life back.
I know my band doesn't do most of the work. That I have to work hard, eat right and exercise. But, it gave me the kick in the ass that I needed to get back on track. It gave me back hope. It gave me the courage to push myself. It made me love myself again.
And so to my band I say...............thank you, for teaching me that I AM WORTH SAVING!!! Thank you for helping me believe in myself again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
good job mama <3
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing difference and I know that I feel the same way. My band was the wake up call I needed to really TRY this time to make my health my top priority. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYou were right .. all of YOUR hard work has paid off ~ and you have thin legs ! :) Happy New Year !
ReplyDeleteIt's the foot that kicks our butt to get started and the hand that helps us up when we fall. btw, you might be getting close to bailing on those jeans --- I think they are getting a teensy bit baggy on you . :)
ReplyDeleteBrenda you are looking tiny as all can be since the last time I seen you! You have done amazing, isn't it crazy to look back at the past pictures, I question so many times who is that person I don't remember her!
ReplyDeleteWow! Big difference! I just had the same feeling today as I was looking at the "old me".
ReplyDeleteYou simply look incredible!
ReplyDeleteLove it! You look great and so glad you made the decision to take charge of your health!
ReplyDeleteYou are fabulous and an inspiration to all! Happy New Year! xx
ReplyDeleteBrenda, I love the pic comparison. Love love love it. Everything you said is so true. Many of us had given up and accepted that we would be fat our entire lives...but no more! Cheers to 2012!
ReplyDeleteBrenda,
ReplyDeleteIf those pictures do not convince someone out there that they do NOT need to give up on the their self, I would be amazed. You are a wonderful inspiration.
