My hard work is paying off!

The other day I had a man come to rent and instrument.  He was a returning customer and I noticed he kept staring at me and looking at me very intently.  Finally he asked me, "Are you related to Jenna Day?"  I smiled and told him that I am Jenna Day.  He couldn't believe the transformation I had gone through in just a year.  I guess I didn't realize it either until I looked at "before and after" pictures.
It has been a long and educational journey!  One that I do not regret.  I have learned a lot about myself and I am happy that I decided to do what I needed to do to become healthier.  I hope that I can someday overcome all the health problems I am dealing with, but losing weight is one step closer.  I still have a long way to go, but each day I am trying!!!
Another good story.  I was in a store and the girl asked for my I.D. when I handed her my credit card.  She looked at my drivers' license and then at me and then at the license again and then at me.  I told her it was me, just 100 pounds thinner.  She whistled and said, "Girl!  You rock!"
So, here is the proof of my hard work!!!
