Tooting my own horn




OK! This was me,not that long ago. I can not say that I ever felt comfortable in that body. I found I was trying to hide a lot of issues behind all that fat. I ate when I was feeling happy, sad, lonely or mad, even if I wasn't hungry at all. I have always been the type to start things and never finish them, it takes a lot to motivate me so I am not quite sure how I have come this far, but I have. It has been worth it in many ways and to be completely honest I feel that I am now a different person than the one you see in that picture. I now have so much more control over my life and decisions than I ever had before. I have 2 weeks left of a maintenance diet and after that plan to drop AT LEAST 15 more lbs. which will mean in the end I have lost 100lbs. Accomplishing something I never believed or thought I could do. So....here is an updated picture of me in hopes that you all will be able to erase that first one out of your minds :)

hi heather. you probably don't know me but probably know my brothers the reds (nate, dana & cam) and maybe my sister heather. we're shanna's cousins. i've just lived in thatcher forever so i'm not around the family much.

anyway, i was checking out tami's blog and thought i'd look at some of the family blogs on there to try to keep track of where everyone is and saw your before and after. i wanted to tell you how great you look and congratulations! that's such an accomplishment especially if you're married into the morris family which is all about food. good for you. take care. shelley

You have no idea who I am, and I don't know who you are either, I found your blog through friends. I just wanted to comment. That is amazingly awesome. You look so good, and I just think it's really cool that you could do that. Awesome, 100 lbs is a whole other person, crazy.
Super random, I know, but I had to comment.
