Sophia describes how she feels when she sees old photographs of herself when she was obese.

Sophia:
I recently saw a picture of myself from about a year ago. I could not believe that that was me. I was like, “Was I that big?” You know, I just couldn’t believe it. I didn’t see myself like that. I looked totally different. I just can’t believe it. A friend saw the picture and she was like, “Was that you?” And I am like, “Yes.” She just can’t believe that was me. I could see it in my eyes that that’s me, but it is a totally different person, totally different.

I just can’t believe that that was me a year ago, and this is me now. I, I just, you’re totally two different people. It’s just amazing.
