Those pictures someone takes without you being aware are the worst! My daughter took a picture at a Birthday party where I thought I was successful at staying out of camera range and it is horrifying! It definately is my worst "before".

I've got some of those pictures, recent ones too. They are hard to look at because when I look in the mirror, I just don't see myself that big. Its a good idea, to have some current ones right before your surgery. Hopefully in a few months I'll be posting my before and afters also. You look AMAZING lady, keep up the great work, and be proud of yourself, you've worked hard!

Thank you everyone. I can honestly say I thought i looked good in that dress when I bought it! I look now and uggh!! The candid shots yes! The worst!! My 8 year old twins said oh mommy you were fat!! Lol!! I was so I can't argue with them!

But in the same way I look at my before pic and never thought I looked like that, I look at my now pic and I don't see what others see now. When I look in the mirror it's still a heavy me but not the obese me from last year. Anyone feel that way?

That's exactly how I feel now and have always felt no matter how much weight I have lost...

I think no matter how much we all loose, no doubt we know we look better and feel better there will always be that insecure heavy person inside lurking. Not haunting me but there

It's a good thing because it keeps you going because I never ever want to go back to square one

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
