    1. I nearly updated this section last night, but it got complicated as I have to figure out when the pictures were taken and what weight I was at that point. Will do soon :-)

    Love the pics! With losing so much weight.. how has your skin been? Did it bounce back or do you struggle with extra? Have you done anything special to help prevent it?

    1. Oh, I have lots of extra skin...it's not so much a bounce back thing yet. I have been drinking loads of water, but I suspect I'll need a nip tuck at some point :-)

    Congratulations, you look great. I have an idea how hard it must have been.You have every right to celebrate your inner strength. Now when does the me me me go away? Time to look outward with those new eyes?

    1. Thank you for your kind words :-)

      With this blog, I am trying to document my journey..it's a personal story, so the "me, me, me" will continue...because I can't speak for anyone else other than myself.

      As for looking outward...I do that too, otherwise I'd walk into things far too often. Haha...however, if you mean look outward as in how to I take my experience and help others?! I'm working on that :-)
