Before

These pages are for my weight loss journey album. We were challenged in the diet challenge to create a "before" layout-- so here's me last July, right before I started my diet.

Journaling on the left side says:
VITAL STATS:
DATE: July 4, 2006
WEIGHT: 188 lbs.
NOTES: I had no clue how big I had gotten. Denial!!!

Journaling on the right side says:
If you had told me on July 15th that my life was going to change that evening, I probably would have laughed. I knew I was overweight, and I knew I should do something about it, but the truth is in a lot of ways I didn't care. I guess you get used to being fat. It was just how I was. I was the funny fat lady. I knew how to pose so I looked okay in pictures. I looked at other women who were bigger and reasoned I didn't look so bad. On July 15th we had friends over for dinner and I ate a huge amount of bad-for-me food. When they left I grabbed th carton of ice cream from the freezer and sat down with it in front of the computer. And then my life changed. My friend Colleen from scrapbook.com was talking about this great website for losing weight. I find it so ironic that as I checked out sparkpeople.com and registered there I was shoveling chocolate ice cream into my mouth straight from the container. But the next day I started-- drinking lots of water, counting calories, eating better foods. It was my turning point. I don't know why it worked this time. I don't know what clicked in me, but overnight I changed. That's how the journey began . . .
