My before and after's

[~peaches~]

So, 10 years ago I weighed 170 ( good weight for me) and got pregnant, I gained 119 pounds in 9 months. My thoughts justified my eating, I am eating for two, and it left me with no self confidence. I went from the high school cutie to hating myself and these pictures reflect all of that!
I am 293 in these pictures.

After the birth of my son, I went from 293 to 200, Don't know how, just stopped eating all the time I guess.

One year later I got pregnant with my daugher, I went back up to 250. I started dieting the bad way, and in one year I lost 120 pounds.

I picked up the weights in 2003, and have been an addict ever since. I have had some flucuations, I am currently in one. BUT the good thing is I know I have control over my body with all the diet and training advice I have been given through these boards. I currently have about 30-40 pounds to get off to be where I want to, I have the tools, just need to find what diet is best for me ;) I am still damn proud of what I accomplished!
