I finally made it to the DMV to renew my drivers license. Of course I could not complete my mission on my first trip due to the fact that I had to have two proofs of address, birth and marraige certificates, and social security card, first born child, DNA sample--ok so maybe not the last two. Anyway I was finally off on a day that the DMV was open, so I made a second trip. When I got to the counter and provided the necessary information the lady behind the table began entering the data from the form...She paused. Looked at my old license, looked at my paper work, looked at me...."Have you lost A LOT of weight. It is not very often we get to subtract 100lbs from someones license." I nodded and grinned. I proceded to the vision test. It was time for the picture. When they took my picture my previous picture showed up on the screen with my new picture. "Oh my goodness!" She proclaimed, she then beckoned the other ladies behind the counter to come take a gander." I get rather embarassed when attention is drawn to me, but it felt so good to see the difference, and to know the even greater difference in confidence I now have.

Yayy!! That is the best feeling!!

Wow, congrats! This is an amazing accomplishment and you should be proud!

what a great story! Congratulations on loosing so much!

Awesome feeling!!! Congrats girl.... i hate my pic on the passport... cant wait to renew it

Sent from my GT-I9100 using VST

That's great!! Earlier tonight I got carded, so I was just reflecting on what year my license expires so I can go get a new thin picture!

Congratulations!!!

That's fantastic!! What an accomplishment

How exciting! Folks who are not overweight do not always understand the countless "little" things that excite those of us who've struggled with weight.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. It is so easy for me to forget my progress as I focus on making good eating choices everyday. It was a great reminder of the success I have had

Awesome!!! I can't wait to do this. I HATE my dl picture

It's definitely more fun when strangers make a fuss!

Major win!! Congrats with your sleeve success.

That is wonderful!!! I can't wait to get my pic redone on my license. Of course, I never updated my weight on my license as I gained so my weight on there is probably accurate now
