GOAL +!!!

Hello. I may need to re-introduce myself. You see, I've undergone quite a transformation. It appears that I am a contradiction - I don't look like myself, yet I look more like the Artist Formerly Known As Jenn. I now weigh 42.5 pounds less than I did at the beginning of 2010.

It is such an awesome feeling! I am wearing clothes I haven't worn in 4 years (I don't feel so silly for holding on to them now), and enjoy shopping again. Oh, and I wear skirts and dresses now! It's so unlike me. :)

On the other hand, when I hear compliments about how good I look, even though I still have more to lose, I reminds me of just how BAD I must've looked before! I feel so embarassed about how far I let myself go.

I know I shouldn't dwell on the past and just focus on my journey. But it's hard.

Regardless, I'm moving forward. I've decided that I want to lose 10 more pounds...anything more than that would be the icing on the cake.

Some comparison pics:

A few weeks ago...sorry, I thought this was rotated.
