290 lbs overweight...

[ACE]

That is where I began this journey and I am amazed daily that I am no longer that person. I was reminded of my former self the other day via a picture a family member posted to facebook and my jaw just dropped. I couldnt even look at the picture of myself for a few minutes I looked att everything else in the picture but it hurt to look at myself like that. its been about 2 and a half years since my sleeve and at times durring my journey I looked in the mirror and didnt see that much difference but looking at that picture made all the difference. I cant believe how big my face was and how much I looked like a heart attack waiting to happen. I am so much happier now 250 lbs lighter. 40 lbs left to loose but at this point I am positive half of that is skin but oh well I feel great about myself excess skin and all.
