I don't have to LIE anymore!

So all my life I have lied on my drivers license about my weight. Yesterday I was looking at my license and it hit me BAM I'm under the weight on the license! WOW its a first ever! ~~~happy dance~~~

Also don't judge me because I lied.. I'm sure I'm NOT the only one who lies on their license ;-)

I don't know that I have ever told the truth....but one day I will!

Of course we all lie on our drivers license! Unfortunately, mine may never be truthful :( I STRETCH my height just a little as well...and I don't see myself going to Korea and getting my calves lengthened anytime soon...then again, I did have 85% of my stomach removed...maybe having my lower legs cut in half wearing braces and painfully stretching apart the break to introduce more bone growth for a couple inches might not be so bad...lol. Yeah, no.

Whatttt?!??? Weight on a driver's license?!? Oh no, I'm glad NY doesn't do that lol I would be riding the bus indefinitely. That's crazy!!

That's it I'm moving to New York!!

I just pulled out my newest drivers license to see what lie I told this time :P

For the last 10 years or so I lied and said 145 on each of my licenses .. But this newest one it was quite obvious that that wouldn't work anymore (they could barely fit my face into the picture :P)

So I said 170, not much further now :D

hey, I figure if you're within 200 pounds, it's all good...

Funny story I got pulled over and the cop asked.. well how much do you weigh? because clearly you don't weigh 280 lbs he handed me my license told me to have a new picture taken and let me off with a warning.. NSV for sure

I KNOW I have done that and I am sure that each attendant looks at me and with an eye roll accepts my 50lb cushion on the license.

Just recently I went into Game Stop to pick up a game and I forgot my Power Up card so they needed my license. I looked at it and saw my swollen face and remember the day I too that picture I had just gotten off of a 14 hr flight from Japan. I looked rough. Now, I am 40lbs lighter than in the picture.

I jokingly say to the man to not look at my picture as I am sure I don't look like that anymore.

His response was, "You look completely different now and much better in person."

Weird compliment, but I took a mental note to remind me to update my license.

This is so funny as I was thinking just the other day that I do am below my weight for my passport; by TEN pounds!! What a great feeling!!!

We don't put a weight on DL in Michigan. I think it's because the whole state is too fat! But it's been working for me for years.

Ok break out the sad violins for this one!!

One of the reasons why I bumped up my weight on the newest one, was not only because I had gained even MORE. It was because when I was at the DMV renewing my license the boy/man behind the counter looked at my pervious license and said.. Not kidding now he actually said.

"Wow you used to be hot" I am not rendered speechless many times (as some as you know:p)

But I was that day, at that moment. I took my new picture put a bigger weight on the form and went home and cried.

My husband was pissed and wanted to go back and complain (bless him) but I said lets just let it go, the man behind the counter was a simple man and had a simple though and made a simple comment... Which by the way I would not of liked even if he thought I was still "hot" I don't want to be "hot" or not I want to be me and happy.

But every time I see that picture on that drivers license? I see that day.

... sad violins playing slowly comes to an end...

Well aren't we all glad they don't ask us to STEP on a scale at the DMV?? For YEARS my weight on my license was from when I was 15. Finally when I was in my 20's somewhere along the way I felt that I could NOT in all honesty keep that weight on there. So I upped it by about 50lbs and it was still about 50lbs shy of what I REALLY weighed. lol.

Now that I'm in my 40's I finally told my real weight. ;)

Of course we lie lol but I renew mine in July and Im pretty sure I will be at goal so I wont have to lie!
