TBT - Weight loss Edition

So this post might be a little bit different from a normal #TBT, but I wanted to share with you how far my journey has come.
Granted I've slacked off recently, but that is ok.
I'm human and I can only do so much, but as long as I NEVER give up, then I feel like I'm winning!
So first let me show you my #TBT pic.

So the left was taken on New Years 2014.

I was VERY uncomfortable and insecure.
Not only was I hunched over and holding onto the boo for dear life, but you can tell I wasn't happy from my smile and facial expression.
I literally remember what I was thinking while that picture was being taken.
"Please don't let me look huge next to him."
"Hopefully if I turn and tilt my face it won't be as round."
"Ugh why did I wear this?! I should have worn a black shirt."
"Why is he even with me? I look hideous."
"Why are we doing full body picture shots?"
I have NEVER posted that picture, nor shown anyone.
I was going to delete it actually. I delete most of the pics that I look huge in.
Why?
Because it's like a reality slap to the face when I see myself.
Back then I was so insecure and ashamed of the way I looked.
I would mostly wear black clothing, and very loose fitting shirts.
And let me just tell you, that is not how you should live your life.
Now the picture on the right was taken about 2 weeks ago.
You can tell there is a HUGE difference.
Not only am I standing up straight and truly smiling, but I'm not ashamed anymore.
I'M HERE B****ES!!!
I am not where I want to be nor am I near it, but I am closer than I was back then.
I am becoming comfortable in my skin finally.
I am no longer an insecure woman, who is clinging onto someone for dear life and acceptance.
I am finally accepting myself.
This weight loss journey of mine isn't just about what the scale or what the measuring tape says, it's about feeling good about myself. It's about having confidence in myself and showing my daughter that you CAN love yourself no matter what.
