I confessed the other day to having taken an embarrassingly huge number of selfie pictures.

While normally something teenagers are hounded about, I found myself snapping away because I am still shocked by how different I look.

I am trying to get used to a new face. I don't recognize ME yet in this different version that is 66 lbs lighter.

I can only imagine the changes after another 50 lbs!

And then I thought.."I can't be the only one!" So...don't leave me hanging...revel a little in your new you look and show me your selfie!

These are my favorite duds. I get "dressed up" everyday for work. Today for a good friends baby shower and now home in my comfy clothes and slippers ready to relax!!!!

My 4AM selfie on the way to get my soldier off that plane from Afghanistan! Yay he's home!!!

When you're overweight and unhappy with your appearance, you go to extreme measures to ensure your photo is not inadvertently taken. You miss out on a lot of memories with friends and family, because you don't want a reminder of what you look like. So, it's only natural that when you start losing weight and becoming happier with the way you look and feel, you want a reminder of it. Embrace your new found confidence. You've earned it.

I agree. I've gone many years avoiding pictures. And how many times did I tell people not to tag me on facebook?

Wow! Looking fabulous!

Selfie with my little one amazing that she actually looked at the camera lol

CG...don't you love tha you can wear hubs' shirt!

LL112...you are gorgeous!

Goalseeker...the little one is adorable!

Kliichow...that was part of the reason I posted. It's embarrassing how many pics I take these days some for memories and some just to remind myself that I'm really on my way down the scale this time! But I am also proud of myself for having gotten this far and it motivates me to not give up!

I know what you mean as you probally seen ine as I had to take a face shot because my kids said something about me not having more than on chin lol, I still don't see it though.

Here's my dirty little secret. I would try to send out Christmas cards every year, but statistically speaking, I was only "OK" with about 2% of them--the other 98% I thought I looked obviously obese or just like crap. I found one good family shot in the batch two Christmases ago with all four of us, but I still looked chunky in the face/neck, although the black jeans and oversized sweater (mostly) hid the rest. I zoomed in on Photoshop and with the help of a few tutorials photoshopped/shaded out my double chin. I wasn't stunning, but I was OK enough with the picture now to print and mass distribute as our Christmas card.

I'm hoping in the future not to have to resort to odd angles and Photoshop techniques just to hide myself.
