She didn't recognize the old me



Recommended Posts

The below picture is what I looked like at my highest of 418 and where I am as of last night at 219. I showed this picture to my 3 year old daughter last night and asked her who the guy on the left is. Naturally she said "thats daddy". I asked her who is the guy on the right and she said "I dunno who is it?" She genuinely did not recognize that as me.

Folks that right there is why I had this surgery. I did not want my daughter to know the fat unhealthy me. And guess what I accomplished it. This was a huge win for me in this journey and it mad me very happy.

3 year old daughter didn't recognize you----ahhh, that must have been a strange/weird/wonderful feeling :)

hijack alert - when my grandkids saw me last year after i had lost all my weight -they were amazed- but they did remember the old grammy - now they saw me, and were amazed, loved it :)

so happy for you :)

keep up the good job

Great job! My 7 y/o used to always think of stuff he and I could do together but he'd say "when you get rid of your belly". (he knew I was trying to lose weight). That broke my heart over and over. So now we're going to go crazy this summer with all the stuff he wants to do!

Nice fish. You do any bassin?

That will be great for you and your son and I am sure you will both cherish those moments!

I have not been Bass fishing in forever. Mostly have done salt Water fishing. A few years ago I went on a guided trip for Yellow Fin and that sorta ruined me for most other fishing. It was unreal! I want to go again now that I have lost weight because I was wrecked after catching 2 of those things.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
