I just realized that I just passed my 2 years anniversary of converting to this healthy & fit lifestyle. Well, I don't have the exact date, but I know it's like beginning of March 2005.
Some of you who have followed my blog for a while that what got me moving is some mean comments from some "well-meaning" relatives who laughingly told me to my face how fat I got. Well, although it stung at the time, I am now thankful I went through that painful experience. As they say, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
In honor of my anniversary, I thought I'd post my before & after pictures. Even fully clothed, the difference is very apparent. So here goes....
BEFORE
(busting out of a size 8, almost a size 10!!!!)

and AFTER
(size 0 BABY!!!!)

Notice how my mom went through a weight loss too?
The before picture was taken during my Philippines trip. I posted the after picture before, which was taken during my Vegas/Grand Canyon trip last October. Looking at my before picture now, can't say I really blame my relatives for telling it like it is. LOL.
I've come a loooong way, don't you think? I'm proud to say that it's been 2 years and I'm still going strong!
