Motivation Through Pictures

[sleevediva 31]

Everyone has a tipping point. For me, it was several things. This picture kind of helped me in making the decision to get VSG (see below).

Needless to say, I've attached an image . I think most of of have seen it. It's a comparison of two women who have undergone a full medical scan. On the left you have a woman who is 250 pounds, on the right, a women who is 120 pounds. I don't know their ages, nor height, which is always a factor, but looking at this picture it's just shocking.

When you look at the two scans you quickly see the following on the scan of the obese woman:

• Her stomach is much larger
  
• Her head is larger
  
• Her hips are much wider apart
  
• Look at the spine at the back of her head
  
• Look at how far apart her feet are due to the weight around her tights and knees
  
• Her ankles are bent (which could be due to the extra weight)
  
• Different brain activity (see two white spots)
  
• Lots of undigested food in stomach - Don't know about you guys, but I don't miss it!
  

This picture is motivational to me. If there was a possibility of a third picture of a woman about 250 pounds, that would have been me. I know I close to that 250 pound pic which motivates me to keep going.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share the picture as motivation to everyone out there.
