Last week I was asked to be a “success story” for my gym in Portland. It’s not a big deal but I always read other people’s stories and I’m very honored to be next to them!
In addition to submitting my story of my weight loss, I was asked to submit ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures. So today I went though the dusty attic of my harddrive to find the ‘before’ pictures I have hidden away. It was depressing to see myself in that state - not because I was overweight (all bodies are beautiful), but because I was unhealthy, sedentary and miserable. I wasn’t happy in my body or in my life but I was too apathetic to do anything about it. I vow never to accept that for myself again.
Here is a picture of me shortly before my break-up in November 2010 and a picture of me taken last week.
