Cindy's Losin' It

This was my first WW journey.  I had come so far and family tragedy halted my progress.  I became so depressed that I didn't even care anymore.

Well...it is now 2007 and I'm at it agin.  I hope to make it at least as far as I did last time!!

This is me about 7 months before I started Weight Watchers.  Christmas 2001.  I'm at my all time high of 323.5.  How did I let this happen??????  I guess you've probably figured it out, but I'm the one in the red top.  Behind me is my husband Gary and my son Tyler.  Sitting beside me is my BEST friend Tonya.  We've been friends since we were 7 years old.  We've been friends for 34 years!!  The redhead standing behind her is her husband Keith and the little ones are Austin (the littlest one in red) and Kyle.

This is me at 253.5 and 70 lbs gone.  Can you tell any difference?   I'm not so sure.  I know that I have a distorted self-image.  Maybe someday when I look in the mirror I won't see the fat girl anymore.  I'm getting there, but it's tough.  That's my sister Linda with me.  She's absolutely the best sister in the world!!!!!!!!!

90 lbs. lost  4-10-03  Current Wt. 233.5  Believe it or not, the pants I'm wearing here are a 14/16.  Yeah,  they have elastic and yeah, they are women's sizes but they're still 14/16!!! lol  The top is a 1X.  Most of my 3X's and 26/28's were starting to get tight before I started WW.

This is my 90 lb. picture, but I'm at 98.5 as of June 25,2003.  I'm gonna post a new pic when I hit 100 lbs. lost, which will hopefully be very soon!!!!
