Showing Skin!! Whoa now!

Totally inspired by Emilio's Progress Pics, I wanted to show where I'm at in the scheme of things. This isn't me from the start, but this is a view of me in my first pair of jeans in a new size (size 20)!!! I was so excited. I feel hott again, just honestly haha. Now ready to bust into a size 18! I've really been working hard at eating right, and I had a great week of workouts last week..this week not so much haha. I got on the scale today, and lost another pound!! So 239!!! 29 pounds lost!!
I feel like just the other day 268 was staring back at me, and I am so thankful I finally did something about my weight. Before I took control of my eating, I was eating like whole batches of cookie dough close to 2x a month, I didn't even look at calories, and I watched as my Mom went out of the house to get in a workout. I'd just say no thanks and stay back being lazy. It wasn't like "Oh no, why am I not losing weight". I wasn't even trying. I wasn't even trying to maintain, I was just hoping (while doing opposite things) that I wouldn't gain. All I could think about at Christmas, when I started my journey, was that I hated how I looked in pictures. My pictures were finally matching up to my number, and I hated it. Also, I could tell that if I didn't do something soon, I'd be 300 pounds in my 20s. So, that all said, I'm very glad I turned my life around. Nothing is worth being unhappy. Take control today, and put the work in on yourself.

  2. Aww Bailey you look amazing!! I'm so pleased for you getting into a new sized pair of jeans!
    You've totally made me think back to how I was before. I was just the same "I hope I don't gain" but wasn't doing anything to stop that from happening...it just makes you realise how far we've all come.

    And just think how different this Christmas will be!!! :)
