I don't ever remember being this heavy! Im only 5'3"! I was bodybuilding at this time but then put on about 10-15 pounds so I looked very stocky. I struggled with this weight gain for many years, losing and gaining, losing and gaining. (Look at that hair?!)

These pictures are from the heavy times. I think at one point I was 20 pounds overweight. I remember being depressed and frustrated, because I was very much into working out ... I was vegetarian at the time also and thought I was eating well! HA! 

Again, the hair? God, look at my face, it looks so puffed out!

Ok, well, the hair is a getting better, but..... I remember visiting my niece in California and feeling fat and miserable that I couldn't fit into my clothes. Believe it or not I was still a work out fiend, but I had so much fat covering everything!

This is me rediscovering raw food.. I look and feel better but I was going off and on for a while until I made the commitment to do 100% raw

After a year on raw foods. This picture was taken after I went for a run and then met up with my great niece. I like this picture because you can see my concave stomach!!! I don't have many full body pictures without clothes on so it was difficult sometimes to see my body shape.

Finally! Me 100% raw for a couple of years. As you can see I am not emaciated or lacking in protein. (I like showing this picture when people tell me you cant get enough protein on this diet!)

This is me at one of my seminars. I still don't like having my picture taken! I've never been very photogenic. Anyway, this was taken about 2 years ago (2000). About 4 years raw! I still have all those muscles, you just cant see them in clothes!
