OMG!! THAT'S ME!!!!!

Have you ever had one of those days that shakes you to the core...when something happens that just opens your eyes to reality? The day that I "discovered" my weight gain was not a pretty day...it was kind of frightening!!!

Halloween 2006: My husband and I just love carving pumpkins for this spooky holiday! AND we loooove taking pictures and goofy videos of our silly creations. Well I was sitting there in a pink tank top and yellow capri sweats (I can still see the outfit in my mind) and my hubby took a pic. We were really enjoying the evening...until I saw the picture he took. My thighs were HUGE, my arms were HUGE, my face was HUGE, and my tummy was HUGE....I WAS HUGE! I was like "OMG Is that ME??" After seeing that picture I threw open our picture albums and started looking at pictures of myself during the past 2 years, and I was so shocked and upset. Whether it was stress weight or happy weight, the weight was there and finally the numbers on the scale clicked into connection with these pictures and it blew my mind. "How did I let myself get to this point?" "What am I going to do?" "Do I have to give up my love of food?" "Where do I begin?"

That really is the question...where do we begin with this struggle to lose weight?
