Wow!! Thank God I have my psych eval tomorrow or I might go nuts. I was just tagged in a photo and I had no idea I looked this way!! Holy f**k!! That's the only way to describe how im feeling. I'm so happy I found this site because all the positive outcomes have helped me know that this is for sure right for me. Well, that and this horrifying pic.

MsfullerRn. Your going to do great, I am at the beginners stage and I look forward to all my doctors appointments as well as surgury. I agree there are wonderful people here .

Girl, you are beautiful in that picture! Don't put yourself down. Just congratulate yourself on your decision to get healthier and move forward.

You're going to love this pic one day... It'll make you smile.

Don't you hate that though! You get all dressed for whatever occasion, look in the mirror before you leave thinking, "hey, I look pretty good today!", then someone comes along with a camera and you're like "Damn! Really!!".

Well, just think down the road maybe 6 months or so after surgery and someone takes a picture and you're like "Damn! I look really good! (I'm only 7 weeks so waiting for this day myself!)

Just keep this as your before picture, you'll do great and rock your sleeve! Will be waiting to see your after picture. Good Luck!

Mrs. Fuller, I can totally relate. I've been feeling like that a lot lately.

I feel that way every time I see a picture of myself! I look in the mirror and am at least content with how my clothes fit, but then I see a pic and my stomach drops and my heart feels soooo heavy. 4 weeks to go before I get my referral to my surgeon -- can't wait!
