Transformation

“Every thought is a seed.  If you plant crab apples, don’t count on harvesting golden delicious.”

Bill Meyer

I’m putting these images up for the world to see because so many people I meet now say they can’t believe I was ever heavy.  Here’s the proof.

At the time, I had no idea my transformation would have been so profound.

I’ll never forget sitting in the doctor’s office, with the results of my annual physical, when she told me that I weighed over 200 pounds on my 5’8″ frame.  “Well, at least you’re not MORBIDLY obese …” was all she could come up with.

I had no idea.

And if you had told me then that I, with my fear of deep water, would be snorkelling in Indonesia a few years later, feeling fantastic, I wouldn’t have believed you.

C’est la vie.
