From the pics you've shown here, you've lost weight over the past several months & I think you look great. If you want to lose more, go for it - try for a better/healthier future you. But I wish you wouldn't compare former you to current you - you're not being fair to yourself & it will only make you feel down.
Amen, seriously. Awesome post and advice. There's nothing wrong with wanting to look good as we get older, but no matter what *I* do, I will never be the hot little 20-something I once was *sigh*.
