I can totally relate to the buying enough food for two at the drive-thru and the Snacks at Wawa and 7-Eleven. I never paused to think about what I was doing. I guess I thought because I was already fat it did not matter what I ate. You look Terrific! Congratulations! Are you going to have a party to Celebrate your success?

Honestly no... everyday is a party now hahaha!

Shelly513 I'm about 15months and struggling with a weight gain also. I was wondering what you were doing to drop your gained pounds and get back on track? I need help!

Just so u know... u can add me on facebook.. IM NEVER ON here anymore.. my name is shellys sleevedlife.

I just decided enough was enough. I didn't come this far to fail myself. So I went back to precooked and prepacking all my meals. Protein first. Allowed myself a sweet at night.. such as a nature valley Protein Bar.. or Quest bar. I allow fat girl Sundays which is 1 day I eat what I want and that helps me stay on track during the rest of the week

I showed my mother your before and after and she said "She looks like a young Linda Carter, Wonder Woman!" You truly are an inspiration and look beautiful! Thank you for sharing sister:) As a food addict, you give me hope.
