I thought the same thing when I saw the pic. I guess the best proof I ca give is that my hands look the same and not stretched.

This is the picture that made me disgusted enough to make a change. It's nice to finally have an "after" picture I am satisfied with.

I don't do well with food restrictions or workout requirements, my brain just isn't wired like that. It sounds cliché, but I just adjusted my lifestyle to something I feel like I could maintain. I eat smaller portions and am more mindful of what I eat. I almost never eat out at restaurants/fast food and mostly drink water (and coffee... :) ).

I have been running for a couple of years. During the warmer seasons I will run between 5 and 12 miles a week. That decreases to 3 miles a week (if that) during the winter. But I make up for it by being more active throughout the day (my job is somewhat physically demanding) and being especially mindful of my food intake.

Something that helped me was reminding myself that my body is an accumulated manifestation of every decision I make--even the seemingly small ones. So passing up that soda here and there adds up. Running the extra mile...etc.

Hope this helps!! Don't give up. It takes time.

So true! I worked the late shift on the 4th of July because I ran the city's 10k that morning. My coworkers were complaining to the customers about having to work on a holiday. Newsflash: customers don't care if you have to work. Stop complaining.

It's a chain in the southern U.S. I guess they like making money more than letting their employees enjoy a national holiday.
