Eight Years Ago

 This is me eight years ago on vacation in sunny Florida. 

I look at these photos and can’t believe how thin I was. This was shortly after I lost 130 pounds and reached goal. Sometimes I wish I’d spent more time appreciating my body and valuing all that hard work. 

I know I lived in the moment and I know I did ALL the new things. Oh but if I could go back and have a pep talk with that version of myself. I’d tell her to hang in there as things will get rough, you will re-gain, but as you lose again, you’ll find a new appreciation for yourself and your body. 

Thank you WW (formally Weight Watcher) for all the support and for helping me change my life in a big way.
