DeLarla... It took me forever to figure it out!!!

I will post a long explanation here in a minute.

I have to do it step by step to remember what I am doing and I am SURE there is an easier way of doing it.

  • Right click on picture you want to edit/post to LBT. Save the picture in your MyPictures folder on your computer under a name you will remember.
  • Do the same for the second picture that you will want to post side by side.
  • Right click on the picture that you want to be your “Before” picture and choose EDIT.
  • If your before picture is too big or not the right size you will need to right click on the picture in your folder and choose Open with Microsoft Photo Editor. There you can resize, rotate the pic.
  • OK, back to step 3 where you want to start with your before pic. Make a box around you and right click and Cut. Start a new file and paste your before pic.
  • Save the new file as what you want your before and after to be (Before and After)
  • Go to your After Pic and right click on it, choose edit. Do the same, make a box and cut you out. Open your Before and After File and paste the after pic. Move it over to where you want.

I have one more that I think is hideous... this thread just chokes me up so much. I went shopping at Nordstrom yesterday and tried on some regular size XL shirts. They are snug, but they fit. I've never, ever, ever - not even as a teen - shopped in a normal store. Ever. I didn't buy any, but I did blow a wad of dough on myself. I mean a WAD.

People, if I can do this, anybody can. I've been obese since childhood and if you dare me, I might "consider" posting a childhood picture. I'm not sure if I can bring myself to do it because it's very sad. Very, very sad. So if I can lose weight after 40 years of being morbidly obese, then I swear, anyone can do it. Anyone. Just let me kick your ass into gear.

I dare you!

But what about starting a new thread for it?

Sharing those painful pics with each other may cause a positive reaction... ???

Heather, I'll dig out my childhood pic of an abused & neglected scruffy 175 pound child that will make you cry. I can't explain how you get on the right train, but you'll find it. I look better now than I did in grade school. Just eat 4-5 ounces of Protein this morning, then drink tons of Water. Sure, you might feel a little hungry, but a huge salad is just a few hours away. You can do it girl!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
