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

Me at 300 for a plus size lingerie shoot.

Damn girl you are beautiful!!! I'm obsessed with your eye shadow! (I'm a makeup artist, not a creep lol)
