This is just a small photo set to illustrate the changes I've been through (and the amusing hair styles/beard combos of Mr H). In the top photo it is April 2007, I'm 23. I'm wearing a size 12 dress and I remember that I felt really uncomfortable in the heat of Mexico. This was the first holiday I remember feeling uncomfortable being photographed.
In the second photo it is April 2008, I'm now 24. I'd died my hair brown, was wearing a size 14 dress and felt even more uncomfortable in the heat of the Bahamas. I didn't even feel like me anymore. I loathed how I looked from the size of the clothes I had to buy to this brown haired monster staring back at me in the mirror. I'd lost all enthuasiam look after myself, and sought comfort in food.
Third pic down is later that year in October/November time. I'm now 25 and about 1-2 months in with Slimming World. I'd probably lost about half a stone by this point and I'm starting to feel better about myself. The top I'm wearing is something I'd bought for my holiday in 2007.
That brings us to the last picture, which is August 2009. See that smile? I mean it this time. I'm happy with how I feel on the inside and how I look on the outside.
