This is the photo of me, Derek, and Derek's brother that originally prompted this weight loss. I was visiting Derek's family and grandparents over the fourth of July weekend, and I realized I was very embarrassed for people to see me the way that I was - no job, very overweight, not producing anything interesting, long roots in my hair, and just generally looking and feeling like a slob. Since then I have had an exciting work opportunity which unfortunately ended when I got sick, but I HAVE made strides in getting to be thinner and less of a slob :)
In the first picture I am over 210 pounds (I dieted for a few weeks before I had the courage to weigh myself), and now I am around 178 or 179 (haven't weighed in today). My hair is its natural color so I don't have roots. I am stronger and happier! And Derek, while he has always been supportive and loving no matter WHAT I weigh, does like the changes too :)
