Keep your head up and get back in it! I think it's only natural to want instant gratification in pictures and we all know that pictures add 15 lbs to each of us, so it's not the real test. I also think that you know that you have probably lost about 5 sizes by now and that is such a huge accomplishment!!! Since you have more weight to lose, pat yourself on the back for getting where you are today, get refocused and mean with it girl, and look forward to this summer when you will be fine and oh so sexy ;)

Hah! I'm not feeling that I'll be hot and sexy but as long as I can be healthy and not so darn fat I'll be good :)

I know exactly what you mean, so here's my example from a few weeks ago. Same day, same outfit, but the angle makes all the difference. When I saw the second one my friend took & posted all I could think about was how ginormous my ass still is. I'm pretty sure that even if I lose another 50 or 60 lbs I'll still be carrying enough junk for me & 2 others. :P

Hmmm interesting. Cause when I saw that on FB the only thing I thought was "she looks so happy". No thoughts of your ass entered my mind :P

Hey there, Redbean...You have had such great success - 53 pounds is amazing. Please don't put value in some crappy Thanksgiving day photo.

I am not sure I have every liked a pic taken of me - at any weight.

Keep your chin up and be proud of what you've accomplished and look forward to the future.

I'm going to copy your signature here - read it until you believe it! :-)

I think you looked fantastic!! I also think that seeing pictures of ourselves take some time to accept. We have spent so many years not even letting someone take a picture and loathing the pictures that they managed to take that we just automatically shut down a good picture because of what we are so used to seeing in our minds. We can't even see the good picture staring us in the face. I also agree that angles and bad photographers play a major part in the pictures we are looking at. Be happy because I think you look amazing! You have come a long way! :)

Luckily, having a ginormous ass does not prevent me from being happy. And it tends to make Tony happy, too. B)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
