Past, present, future...

This was me in around 2001

& this was me in 2005...



This comparison shows me 2 things...1) I don't shop for clothes as much as I should & 2)I was on a good weight loss track. Here in Aug. 2005 I was at my most recent skinniest...probably 157lbs. Before you even ask.... I was in Grand Cayman, the bush was growing in the street & it's NOT what it looks like!
Although I didn't go about the weight loss in the easiest way (after the devastation of having to go through chemo & multiple surgeries due to breast cancer), I am glad I at least got the ball rolling. I fooled myself into believing I was supposed to have high blood pressure... me being over 200lbs had nothing to do w/it, it's just my family history! Well I have found that since losing the weight I am no longer anxious & worried when I have a BP reading. Although I still can't run a marathon (& never could!)I know I am in much better health now than I was just a few years ago. My new goal for 2007 is to try to be in even BETTER health than I am now! I was doing soooooo good, then I said unto all the cookies in the land "GET IN MY BELLY" lol
Some may think it's too skinny, but let's see what'll happen if I actually get down to 150lbs next year.
