I must say, I am so very proud of myself today. I'm a 39 year-old mother of 5 who has Hashimoto's disease ( thyroid disorder), I've lost 35lbs. since the birth of my last child now age 5, but I still have 20lbs. to go and out of shape. Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm extremely self conscious, yet I chose to publicly post before pics of myself wearing shorts and a sports bra! This is HUGE for me! I haven't worn shorts since I was 30 and at my goal weight 2 years after my 3rd child was born! I haven't worn anything sleeveless either!! If my sister ever saw this she'd be in utter shock that I of all people would do this. She'd be proud too. She's always hated the fact that I feel so self conscious. You see, she's over 100lbs. over weight and has never been self conscious at all. Not to say that she's happy where she is, she just doesn't let it affect her like I let my excess lbs. affect me. I feel like now I have nothing to hide and I feel relieved. Nothing happened, the world didn't see my pics and make me feel bad! I have nothing to be ashamed of! I feel liberated! If you have any before pics of yourself and are too embarrassed to post them, I urge you to reconsider! I know this is going to help me stay focused and it will do the same for you.:-)
