Why pictures MATTER!

I took some pictures today for my 5-month surgiversary. When I looked at them, I saw every, single pound that I still need to lose (about 40). It was very discouraging. :(

Then I looked at the pictures I took 6 weeks pre-op and I saw all the pounds I've already lost. :D

I'm so glad I took these early pictures. I'm sure I'll be happy in a few months I took the ones today.

You look great and you're absolutely right--in a few more months you'll have even more amazing after photos! Wishing you continued success!

You look AMAZING!! 49 pounds? From where, girl? You should be so proud of yourself. :D

You look great...I didn't take any pictures before I hid from the camera as much as I could..I have some now bit I can't see what everyone else sees... Maybe if I had I would nothing the difference..

Seeing the smile on your face is enough to make me push harder to continue my journey...lol I wanna be like you when I grow up...THANKS !!

Oh yeah, you look great!!

You look great!! I actually have a professional photographer taking pics of me once a month. I've asked her not to touch up any of the pics, I want to see every lump and bump, and I've also asked her not to show them to me. I will first look at the pics when I am half way to my goal, and I will look at them again when I reach my goal, and then I will probably make them into a book. I also think taking regular pictures will be a great motivator! Congrats to you on all your success and continued success in the future!!

Giselle you look fantastic!! You've done amazing! Very pretty! <3
