Today, my friend Kenzie and I were talking about what we look like now compared to what we looked like months ago. To me, there are two parts to losing weight. At first you compare yourself to what you were and you're so happy to look better. Then there is a point where you start comparing yourself to what you want to be. One minute you can be happy with how you look and the next you're miserable again.
I had a hard time with this and it hit me hard and still is. I am so happy I took pictures because looking back at old pictures is what kept me going. We were also talking about how before, we never thought we were "that" big but we notice we wore our close differently. I would wear clothes that were not too tight or revealing and hid my body. Now, I kinda want to show what I have worked for and I feel more confident in form fitting clothes. These pictures are 1 year apart. They are from my friend Jessica's birthday party. I wore a dress in both but they are completely different looks.

Self confidence is so important and it truly is something you have to find within. No one is going to be 100% happy with their bodies but there are little things you can do to remind yourself how far you have come and how hard you have worked. I get mad at myself when I call myself fat or that my legs are too big. I have transformed my body and still am. The second you start putting yourself down means you are one step closer to giving up. You are your biggest cheerleader and if it wasn't for YOU none of your weight loss would be possible. Remember that!!
