I am someone who over the last 30 years, spent much time on the road lecturing and within a very narrow range of society, had some reputation in my field. I was used to seeing the 425 pound me on video or in training films, always was prepared to gulp a bit at how incredibly fat I had become over 30 years, each new video a bit bigger. I would always tell myself that the video adds 25 pounds at least, maybe even 50. Good old denial. Recently, fulfilled a bucket list item and did a TED talk and just got it back yesterday after editing, seeing myself down 130+. This time, for the first time, I was shocked that I looked that relatively slim...and thought -- maybe the camera takes away pounds! Still could not believe it was me even though I still have a ways to go with weight loss. http://tedxtalks.ted.com/ , put "Children Must Live with Families" in the search bar.
