you know, today was the first day I started getting nervous and these pics helped so much. I know there's a risk, I know there will be pain...but the feeling of thin. To move and jump. To step down off a curb and not worry about your ankle giving way. To not always be the last one to finish. To not have the first word to describe you be "chubby, bigger, plus size". To be me on the outside as well as in. It will all be worth it. Thanks for being so brave and sharing! I'm off to take my befores now
