I've Seen Bigger Days!

As many of you know, I have been doing Weight Watchers since January and I became a lifetime member about a week ago! My weight is something that I've struggled with for quite a few years, and it has caused some major self esteem issues. My dad wanted to sponsor me in this weight loss, so I thought I'd give it a try! I have lost just over 60 lbs. and I am happier than I've ever been. This is the biggest accomplishment I've ever made in my life, and I never get tired of hearing people say, "You look good!" I know it is cheesy, but I do want to thank all those who have supported me in this life-changing experience. I especially owe a thank you to my mom and my dad for the financial support in this and also for the emotional support. They have always been supportive of me, even when I didn't have the confidence that I longed for. I remember just crying into my pillow and they would sit on my bed and tell me that I was beautiful although, I wouldn't let myself believe it. I am so glad that I have had this opportunity to change my life. I have even become a lot more girly now that I appreciate myself more! Okay, enough with the boring stuff, there are before and after pictures below!
