Christmas 2007! new

It's been almost 3 full months off Phen, I gained weight back and feeling "fat" because I'm bloated as heck.
 
I haven't been overeating, but compared to being on Phen I have been.  I drag my husband and kids out at night walking to help some, but it hasn't been working.
 
I think I'm ready to start again and kick another 30 - 50 lbs off.  I will be at my goal at 30 lbs, but 50 would give me some "wiggle" room, in case I gain water weight back after stopping phen again.
 
We got new Christmas pictures and I was shocked at how much I have changed since January 2006 and even December 2006.

Even though these are my "bad" side and I can see wrinkles starting, this really encouraged me to get back on track and try to keep on losing. 
 
My hair parts to the wrong side here and where my teeth need fixing are the "bad" side, but I had no choice - they put us where they wanted us in a hurry at the studio grrrr lol
 
Even with all of my insecurities and doubts about myself, I am starting to see who I used to be and where I am going.

Below is my new hairstyle I'm going to have done after the new year and I am back on track in control...15-4101.jpg picture by lmt033167
 
Eerie isn't it? talk about the circle of life lol
 
I can't wait to see what the New Year and the next 30 and 50 lbs holds for me!

Many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
