Faces Don't Lie....

  • Popular Post

All of my overweight life I never had a 'big' face. In fact, it was probably one of the smallest parts of my body. Last year after finding out I had a thyroid problem I had gained 65 lbs in 5 months. The weight this time went to my face (not all of it of course), it was the first time I had to LOOK at my once small face and see how disfigured it looked. It is still hard for me to see the photos without tearing up, but I wanted to share the difference weight loss has made in the shape of my face, as I continue to keep losing....

Dolly,

You are so beautiful, tiny, and fit! What an inspiration you are to me, thank you (hugs)

funny though because I still see a round face in my pics. Doesn't help when my hubby has a narrow thin face!

and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think I have ever been called beautiful, tiny and fit!!!!!!! Did I tell you that I love you girl?!!!! :)

You look awesome and are doing a fantastic job, congratulations! I do know what you mean, about faces, the only thing recognizable on mine is my smile. :)

Both pics are beautiful in different ways, none look "disfigured." We go through things in life, ups and down, and so do our bodies. Look at the before pic and instead of tearing up think about how far you have come =)

Congrats, you got this!

I had the same thing happen to me. I gained about 60 lbs in 4 months while they figured our it was my thyroid. I was just banded 2/22 so i hope to see such a great change in myself. You look great and are a great inspiration.

That's just an awesome difference!!

Congrats!

Excellent

Great job on the weight loss. I had my thyroid removed several years ago & my weight has been a constant battle. I do not wish hypothyroidism on my worst of enemies. I am thankful for my WL surgeon finding that my meds needed to be increased. I feel much better:) Keep up the hard work & you look WONDERFUL!!!

Wow!!! Wonderful!
