That's a picture of me a couple of months ago, taken by my stepfather while I was at the beach. I took a look at it and it just about ruined my vacation, between the chilling realization that I had spiraled out of control and the debilitating back pain I was experiencing just from walking short distances there. I hate looking at that picture.

That's a picture of me today. I went and bought a shirt I couldn't previously fit into. Got a haircut, because I'm finally taking a little more stock in my personal appearance. Lost about 30 pounds in just shy of 50 days. I can deal with this picture a lot better than the first. I asked the Lord to help deliver me from my idols of sloth and gluttony and He has been faithful to me and given me the grace I need to succeed. I'm gonna keep pushing forward. I wish I had better before and after pics to share, but there will be more to come. Thanks for sharing in this small victory with me. All glory to God. Amen.
