Being positive about my health today

Tomorrow is my mammogram. I have to be at the hospital and 7am, and they say to expect to be there until 1pm. Kindle ahoy. Plus I *just* found out that I'm not supposed to wear anti-perspirant/deodorant. Good to know.

So, to take my mind off of that, I'm going to focus on some good health stuff. It's weight-loss talk, so I'm putting most of it under cuts for those who don't want to hear about it/don't care.

Warning: shit-loads of information.

( Weight gain history. )

Those of you who know me in person, but haven't seen me in a while, are likely to look at the New Year's Eve photos and go... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? Trust me, I had the same reaction. I had avoided looking in mirrors for years, honestly. I willfully ignored my body's appearance. Seeing the NYE photos brought me to tears.

( Pics or it didn't happen. )

( By the numbers )

( fun photos for the prurient! )

So. That's The Story So Far. Stay tuned.
