This was me in 2007. I had just started college. I took this about 2 weeks before I met my husband. We call it the bait picture. I had skinny legs, a little tummy, and a great tan. Ahh... Before the Freshman 15 set in. Well, that's just another reason to lose the weight.

 I can't wait for my 10 year reunion. Not that there's anyone to impress in my graduating class of 25 students. But, just for humor, it would be nice to look just as good or hotter than I did in high school. ;)










This is why I'm starting a blog. To remember what I'm feeling now... so that later, when I feel great and want to slack off, I can look back and remember how it felt to be fat and miserable. To feel the sharp and burning pains while breathing during a "light run" because you can barely jog half a mile. To feel the pain and depression when you see the picture your sister takes of you tossing a beautiful salad at a Christmas party and you see the back rolls, bloated tummy, and huge butt. That's why I started.
