Before Lap Band and 2 Years After Lap Band

Cameron found a very old picture of me. This was me in January of 2009. I had just turned 21.

I was 300+ pounds. I can't believe I looked like this. And I can't believe I thought 300 pounds was acceptable - like it "wasn't that much."

The picture on the right was taken in April 2012. I was a size 18 (I'm a size 20 now) and I was around 220 pounds. I'm pretty proud of myself. That is Cameron in both of those pictures. We both have changed a lot. He looks really good right now. He's lost 20 pounds since the picture on the right.

I may not be 150 pounds, but I've accomplished a lot. I SHOULD be proud of myself.
