Are you getting a new driver's license or work ID since losing weight or once you reach goal?

[buplee 556]

I read the Al Roker book and he said he keeps his old ID as a reminder of where he was. I'm not sure what I am going to do yet. How about you?

I will keep my work ID the same because I have kept it with the same photo since the place opened. I look HUGE on it too.

My DL I will change when it expires because they will make me. If I had a choice I'm not sure what I would do. I understand Rokers POV.

People only see my DL at stores when I use a credit card so I don't care what it looks like.

I would (will) happily get a new pic for my driver's license...there are plenty of other pics of me fat that I could look to if I want to remember where I've come from.

I would love to get a new one! There is a hideously unhappy fat person staring back out at me every time I pull that thing out...

It's funny buplee this fits in to your hot thread too, how I don't like being judged..

When I went to get my new license I was at my highest weight. The "man" behind the counter asked for my old one. When I gave it to him, he said "this is you???" "Wow you Were hot"

No kidding his exact words...

My husband wanted to go back there and get him when I came home upset.

Needless to say my picture was snapped. And not only was I rotund I was the most unhappy girl in the world at that point.

Yes I want a new picture!

My wife always says that people have no impulse control. Whatever the person thinks comes straight out of their mouth no matter how hurtful. I know how your husband felt, there have been several occasions when I wanted to clock someone who made a comment to my wife or about us.

I have a few ideas and my current drivers license but that picture was taken during a lower weigh period in my life.

I wish i had kept my old picture

my DH (his name is tom)needed to go to DMV - i had reached goal and i said to myself "hmmmm, maybe i'll get a new license to show the new and improved me "

gave my old license to the guy at the counter

told him my weight story, he went to get a lady, turned out she also had the sleeve

it was great talking to her - comparing stories

little off topic

i didn't tell anyone about my pending WLS except immediate family

I didn't know how people would react

my paranoia crept in saying will people be watching my every bite, and when and how much weight i have lost - didn't want to go there

Now i tell everyone proudly about my WLS - people love hearing the story - no one judges, i just hear nice things

i've told everyone except the lamp post on my corner

hmmmm, maybe after this post i'll go outside and tell it toooo

My driver's license expires next year & it's the year they make you take the test, so I have to go in anyway. I don't think I'd make an extra trip specifically, but since I'll be there (and hopefully to goal by then!) I figure I'll get a new photo.

As for my work badge photo - HELL, yes! I am at my highest weight on that thing, with a horrible haircut. I look like a bad, fat version of my mother! I never let people see it, it's just hideous. Can't wait to replace that thing! Unfortunately, the policy at my company is no new badges unless you've had a drastic change (dyeing your hair or something like that won't do it). So I'm going to wait until I've at least reached my halfway goal before I change it.

And if the badge photo guy makes any comments to me like the guy at the DMV did to Laura-ven, it is ON!!

Mine expires next year and I am getting married in October. So I'm sure when I get a new one with my new last name I'll get a new picture as well. That's fine. Hate my old pic. I look stupid in it. :-)

[joatsaint 2,814]

I'm not sure if it is legally required in Texas - to get a new DL if your looks significantly change, but I get stopped so rarely that I'm going to wait until expiration before getting a new DL.

I live in a city with about 6 million people .......I will be avoiding the DMV for as long as I can! I do need to update my cosmetology license pic though!

Come over here to Cleveland....you can walk in and out. In Houston.....yeah....it's an all day affair getting a license. I went into the office in Pasadena last time and you had to sign on a waiting list just to get a chair to sit in while you waited.

This may be the saddest story I've heard all day. I don't blame your husband for wanting to go back. People can really be idiots.

I got a new one when I got married in July. I look soooo much better and happier.

Maybe next time I visit my folks in round rock tx I'll update it haha!

[ashelaine 383]

Didn't Houston get one of the new offices like DFW and Austin- you can make appointments and sign in online! Sooo much better!
