“Two years ago, the photo on the left changed my life.
It was taken in after a year of living in complete survival mode.
I had barely looked at myself in the mirror. I was simply trying to make it through each day for my kids. Then I saw this picture, and it snapped me back into reality.
I knew something had to change.
The photo on the right was taken just two weeks ago.
Most people probably wouldn’t say they’re thankful for the person they see in their “before” photo.
But I am.
Because that woman on the left made the decision to take one small step, then another and then another.
She had no idea how much stronger she would become. Not just stronger physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Looking back now, I’m thankful for that photo.
If you’re looking at your own “left photo” today, don’t be discouraged. It may just be the picture that changes everything.
So today, I’m saying thank you to the woman on the left for taking that first step. 💜” - Michelle M
What’s one small step you could take today that your future self will thank you for? 💜
