Unhappy Have you ever??

I was looking thru some pictures that i have stored on my computer. and i was wondering. have you ever looked at old pics and thought "OH MY GOD. DID I REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT?"

exhibit A (i am so embarassed but im gonna share this with you guys)

Picture 285.jpg

this was taken 3 weeks post op. i'd lready lost like 25 lbs and i teared up when i saw it. how to we get to this? do we lose ourselves somewhere? then to look at me now, which sometimes i STILL dont "get" LOL! i figure I should just live far away from mirrors altogether. THEY LIE LOL!! either you are heavy and dont realize what you actually look like. or you are thin....and the same??? is the mirror really ALWAYS wrong?

maybe i have too much time on my hands. but i feel like if i dont THINK these things thru, and fingure out what went wrong i might end up back there. and i dont want to be there at all.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

When I was looking for my "b4" pic I was pretty shocked - here's the kicker, I was feeling pretty good when it was taken - that was a good picture!!!! I think mirrors are subjective - I intend to get a full length mirror soon and make myself use it!

At Most Times I Would Look In The Mirror Pre-op And I Knew I Was Looking My Worse And Then There Were Times When I Would Look In The Mirror And I Would Think I Look Good After Looking At Myself For 20 Min Because I Was In Denial And Had To Convince Myself I Look Good When I Didnt But Then I Would Go Shopping And Nothing Would Fit Me And That Would Tell Me The Truth And After A While I Wouldnt Go Shpping Anymore And Pretty Much Just Stayed Home Alot.

Im Not Totally Happy With My Body Yet But I Am Sure On My Way And Its Great To To Be Able To Wear Normal Sizes . I Am No Longer A Freak Shopping In The Embaressing Section

Kenya, I too have been looking at pictures stored on my computer, when I made my 3 month comparison pic the other day and posted it I got to thinking, wow, in the before pic I was thinking I was lookin' okay at that time, I wasn't weighing myself then but I had been dieting and exercising at the time. the shirt I was wearing I thought looked good on me that day. I was looking at other pictures that I can remember thinking at the time they were taken the same thoughts of looking okay. This is a laugh: the picture in the green shirt, I had been to Torrid and bought some size 20 pants shortly after that!!!! I am in 20's now, almost 60 lbs. lighter, where was my brain back then???? and why was I always wearing bright green or other bright colors then?? to announce "Hey everyone!!! The fat lady is here now!!!!" ?!?!

i've been thinking (which can only mean trouble ) i think we realize how bad it was and at that point we do something. hence, all of us decided on this route. and BECAUSE we aknowledge where we truly were, we wont ever go back again....or at least will go down fighting

i SO prefer me now...


not just in terms of how i look, but i feel so much better.
