Tonight my husband and I had a couple of errands to run, and one of them was to make a stop at Dick’s Sporting Goods. I’d been wanting to go up there to take pictures of myself next to weights that were equal to what weight I’d lost so far. I’d done this the last time I’d made a serious effort to lose weight, and it was motivating and inspiring at the same time. Any time I’d lost a significant amount of weight, I’d always had trouble conceptualizing what the weight I lost looked like. Standing next to dumbbells helped me to see (and feel) what I’d previously been carrying around on my body.
Here I am with 75 pounds. This represents the weight I’ve lost since June.
Pardon the monochrome look–it’s Friday, and we wear school colors on Fridays. I had been wearing my new Mizunos all day, but took them off once I got home to let my feet breathe and rest a little.
Then I decided to take a picture with the amount of weight that I’ve lost since I was at my heaviest. This one was an eye-opener.
