Fresh Outlook

Everyone has their days. You know, the ones where you feel amazing..and the ones where you just don't. Well this morning was one of those days for me. I woke up feeling like a cow. Just fat. It happens sometimes. But I started looking through my pictures again.. This helps me get out of my funk. I looked back to when I was pregnant with my son. THAT was fat. Then I looked back to before I was pregnant. That is where I want to be. And I will.

What I fail to realize often times is that while I may not be back to my pre-pregnancy weight, I have certianly come far from my post pregnancy weight! The week I had my son I weighed 276 pounds. When I found out I was pregnant I weighed 170. Big difference. Today I am 212. Still a big difference, but it's better than before. I only gained about 15 pounds with my daughter and lost that a week after having her. I learned my lesson the hard way with my son.

So while I may still be "big" now. In my eyes..and others. I know that I have come a long way. And I need to focus on that when I'm having a bad day. And just keep going!

 This was before I was pregnant. My goal.

 This one was a month before I had my son. I have no pictures after this.

And this is me now. Trying. Struggling. And trying to make my goals a reality.
