Pre Op Pic Thread!

Let's post our favorite pics of ourselves BEFORE the surgery. I hope this can be a positive thread. Many plus size people don't like taking pictures. However right now this is who I am now and I love me but I have to get better so I can be around alot longer for my husband and kids. Post a beautiful picture of you and tell us a little about the picture :)

I'm on a desk top computer and can't figure out how to add a pic. Can someone please explain to me how to do that?

When you click to reply to thread depending on what you are on your Phone: there is a little plus sign besides the send button you click and then upload then after you upload you click on the picture and select insert inline

This is from my wedding in 2007. I was about 220. Before I had surgery I was up to 280. I'm now about 240. I have not taken any pics since surgery. The other pics are from about 2 years ago. One is from NYC and the other is from my niece 16th birthday party. I was about the same size I am now 235 - 240.
