Profile Pictures Are Deceptive To Me.

Something is bumming me out on LBT...

I read post's daily, and I like to look at the poster's picture.

How is it you all have SO much ro lose, yet you all look thin to me!

Are you posting old pictures?

I get disheartened when I see someone really struggling and saying that they need to lose 100+ pounds, yet they're thin and beautiful.

I am so obese that I have a picture of my dog as my photo for goodness sake!

What gives?

I really like that pic of you and your momma. You will make her proud sweetie!

There is nothing wrong with your puppy but you are beautiful. Stop hiding yourself. We are not here to judge your progress of how fast or slow it is. I like seeing who is posting. None of us have anything to be ashamed of what so ever. Show ya face girl and be proud.

Great profile pic! You are beautiful! Glad to take this journey with you! Thanks for sharing!

I am just like my pirate kitty avatar..cuddly and loveable.Does anyone know how to add friends on this talk forum from my phone?

Ok..So this is the latest picture of me.I took a picture of myself to show off my new 7tooth partials.Yeah,I'm really an old man at 46 lol.Partials are at the top.I laugh at everything including myself or at you.if I find you funny and humorous.I laugh at my human self.Because I haven't figured out how to airbrush my reality..lol

46 is not that old, but you're gettin there. ;)

I also can't figure out how to add friends and also, how to post pics except for my avatar profile pic thingy. Do I have to be on a desktop?

Well dearest wallflower.I don't think anyone ever gets old.Now if they compare themselves to an infant.Then yes you're old.Its all relative in this world.No I haven't figured out how to add friends from my phone.

You ever notice a baby picture and then you compare that person's baby picture to their advanced age picture?If you notice most folks go bald in advance age.compare that to their baby picture.(bald).then you compare their toothless baby picture to their advance age picture.(dentures or no teeth at all).If you notice their baby picture and they are crying.In their advance age picture they are crying because they found out that social security isn't there as promised.So that's some of the reasons why most if not all things in life are all relative

Honestly my face is the prettiest it's ever been. Since I got big, my face filled out nicely and now I don't have such a pointy face for lack of a better term. Everything used to be so sharp.

I'm going to really miss that when I lose weight.

All of my weight is in my stomach. My back has no rolls, I don't have flabby arms ... I get asked allll the time if I'm pregnant because I look like I am. Honestly it happens about once a week.

So I'm 5'7" and the most I've ever weighed was 255. I'm hoping to get down to 165. But yes, my face is much prettier now..., well I think so anyways!!!
