#tbt Graduation - May 2008
One of the things I remember most about my senior year of college was the friends I had made. We were the first cohort of this kind at my college, so we became very close. Something that we grew fond of was our 2 hour lunch break. Well, there just happened to be a Peter Piper Pizza a few miles away that we loved. What did we love?? All you can eat pizza buffet for lunch, of course! OMG, I could seriously down like 10 slices of pizza, plus some dessert pizza, and soda. No WONDER I looked like this!
Fast Forward...
#tbt Graduation - May 2011
Holy mother of what-a-difference!! May 2011 was about a year and a half after my seriously weight loss journey started... I want to say it was about 75 pounds down, but I was in FABULOUS shape and had high fitness levels. It was also when my now-husband and I were trying long distance. I wanted to hard to look good every time I saw him... it was fabulous motivation. I was on a roll. I exercised frequently, ate better, and FELT better.
Why I love looking at these pictures...
Looking at the picture from 2008 reminds me that I never want to be there again... and that wasn't even my highest weight! I am reminded at how gross I felt and looked. Looking at the picture from 2011 reminds me of how far I've gotten... and that wasn't even my lowest weight! I kept my outfit from my 2011 graduation. I can get it on, but I can't zip it. That dress is going to be a measure of my success. I am so excited since it is such a CUTE dress, and I am going to work HARD to fit my fat ass into that dress and PULL IT OFF!!
Here's to success, people! Find your motivation! Find your measure of success! We can do it!!
