Tag: before and after

That moment…

Today a photo came up in the memories on my phone and it made me gasp. It was a picture from the ribbon cutting at the opening of the Punta Gorda Charlotte Library, where I worked. It was dated September 6, 2019. Almost seven years ago. Here is the photo that took my breath away.

This was me at my heaviest. I never want to go back to that. I was always in pain. I felt horrible and I had to go to a tent maker to buy clothing.

I’m going to leave this here to remind me how far I have come.

Here is a comparison post I did today.

What a difference (almost) a year makes!

I regret that I didn’t take before photos when I started my healthy journey on December 17, 2025. I decided to try and find a decent face picture from a year ago. The closest I could find is one from May 2025 when I weighted 30 pounds more than today. I’ve lost 25 since December 17, 2025 and I’ve been trying to “see” it when I look at myself. Here is my comparison photo that I just posted to Facebook.

I think I can see it in my face.

I am happy. Still a lot to go but I am very pleased with my progress.
