This was my official "before" picture. I was started Weight Watchers three months after my baby was born in September of 2002. I weighed about 230 pounds here. I was so horrified when I saw this photograph that I promptly blamed the shirt and threw it in the trash.
When I saw this picture, taken in March 2007, I realized how fat I really was. This was one of the reasons I finally lost the weight.
Here I am celebrating my 42nd birthday. What a difference two years make!
This is the face of a woman who spent all morning cooking Thanksgiving Dinner.
How about that red suit? Like Santa Claus, only not quite as fat. In fact, about sixty pounds less than when I first started this weight-loss adventure.
