Forgive the messy hair and messy house and the Elementary School t-shirt! (seriously, I got that shirt in 5th grade, and found it buried deep in a drawer at my parent’s house last year! NSV!!! I wear that thing all the time!)

This picture was taken around Christmas time 2010. I was going through clothes to donate to the City Mission, and my mom was helping me. She wanted to know if I wanted to keep my fat pants as a memento. I decided not to, but to take a picture of how far I had come.

Those jeans were size 22. The ones I was wearing in the picture were size 10. T-shirt size Small. I figured I was done losing weight, and sure didn’t want the clothes from my heavier days! Today, I weigh only about a pound less than I did that day in December, however I have toned up and gotten leaner! Down another pants size!!!  Isn’t it amazing what running can do for you?
