Visual Progress

When I started this diet I had the fore sight to take a picture of myself. I was determined to make this diet work. And I wanted the opportunity to post the "before" picture next to the "after" picture so that I could be proud of myself. And I wanted a reminder of what not to return to.

Here is the before picture. Taken on April 20th at 293.8 pounds.



Yes, I know my head is missing. Oh there is a lot of work to do on this body! (Now think back to yesterday when I said I saw several women my size in bikinis yesterday).

Since today in June 1st I decided to comment on my progress. As of today I am 273.8 pounds. Officially down 20 pounds (I had hoped to be in the 260's by today but I have stalled -- ice cream will do that to me). And happy about it. And here is the picture from this morning -- and I even had the fore sight to wear the same clothes.




Notice the difference?

Yeah, me neither. But the scale is going down. And I did change the batteries to make sure that the numbers are real.

I have decided to diet for the entire month of June. Drop as much as possible. And then take a break from it for July and summer vacation.

It turns out that Ladybug might be a fairly decent photographer -- don't you think? Speaking of which, more pics tomorrow -- this time of my Ladybug.
