How One Woman Went From Obesity to a Bikini Body
It began with a commitment to change, and a real look in the mirror.
So many of us are miserable over the current condition of our bodies, we get motivated and inspired by reading stories such as mine, but that's not enough. We need something lasting. Something that will motivate us to walk away from the bread basket, or in my case -- back away from the sour cream twice-baked potato!
For me, that motivation came in the form of photos.
Before I began, I committed to document the entire process via a weekly pictorial where I would stand raw, real, and exposed in front of a camera wearing nothing but the same tiny black bikini. When I felt discouraged, or was having a internal struggle over something I shouldn't eat, I would look at the photos of where indulging got me -- fat.
I took it one day and one meal at a time.
