Before & Afters.
I never thought I'd be one to post an "After" photo.
Well, it's been quite a struggle, but I've finally gotten to where I dreamed of being for so long, and even beyond that.
I never thought I could end up being 120 lbs. I wished to be 145 lbs for years, but thanks to the Atkins Diet I exceeded that and changed my overall look on life. I also made some lifestyle changes during the weightloss process, as you may be able to tell.
These first photos of me I weighed 185 lbs. My highest weight ever was 195.
I was so miserable. I went through a deep depression, developed an eating disorder and even had horrible anxiety attacks. I just hated myself more than you can imagine.
Last summer: 185-190ish.
Today: 120 lbs, Maintained for over a month now.
I still don't think that I look like I weigh 120, though, and that upsets me, but I know that I should just be proud of what I've done so far.
I may now up the exercise and continue setting mini goals, just for fun and something new. Maybe I'll actually be able to wear a two piece bathing suit this summer, for the first time in my life.

Found the slippery slope: March/April 2006
but not too skinny either - you look healthy and slender. I went from being a chunky teen to a skinny adult, got married and blew up like a baloon. I remember how hard it was to adjust to being skinny those few years that I was - now I can't fit where I used to. If you don't mind me asking, what size do you wear now?
