Me, then and now

I've been heavy all of my adult life, and a lot of my teen years. Mostly due to compulsive eating. I have had some pretty heavy eating disorders, and done a lot of awful things to my body, both while losing and gaining weight.
I've sadly ridden the bulimia train (trying to lose weight for a boyfriend who was mildly ok with me being bigger, but it was comments from his mom that sent me into a spiral) and starved myself as well.
My goal this time is obviously to do it the right way-- diet and exercise.

To give you an idea of how quickly I can gain weight, these two pictures are from July and October of 2011.

This picture is from April of this year.

 Perhaps you notice a difference? If anyone out there is reading this, and you can relate, I deeply feel for you.  Its not as if I don't know what I need to do to lose weight and be healthy...its more that it is SO HARD.
Many people assume that if you have done it once, it should be easy from there on out. I think it gets harder.
Some people can eat bad for a day, and it doesn't affect them. I can eat bad for a day and gain 2 pounds. I wish I was joking.

Now, if only I could figure out photoshop so I could paste my face on a healthy fit woman to have an idea of what I am going for, but for now we will just use our imaginations.
