Was that really me?

You'd think that you could never forget what it feels like to be overweight, slightly obese. You'd think that you could never forget the trapped feeling, like you couldn't breathe due to the sheer size of you. But you can. And apparently I have. There are times when I look in the mirror and think that nothing has changed, and yet I have. There are times when I get dressed in the morning thinking, why did I bother doing this. But it has been a blessing. It is so hard to remember what you used to be like in order to appreciate the way you are. And then you see a picture like this...and remember.
