This should make you laugh...

I've always been self conscious about my weight. Now, finally at a size where I'm finally feeling good about myself...I've been receiving a few comments. Several people who haven't seen me in a while have asked if I broke my nose. I asked my husband about this and he said that since my face is thinner, my nose looks a litter bigger on my face!!! Now I have a complex about my nose!!! It never ends!!!:wink_smile:

Oh my gosh, that is hysterical. From your picture, I think your nose looks beautiful on your face!

For some reason that made me laugh til I cried. We just can't win, can we??!!

Idea!!:: Wonder if you could get 'reconstructive nose surgery' insurance approval for side effect of weight loss surgery?? LOL!!

And, I agree....you look lovely and you've done a wonderful job in becoming a loser!!

dont chNGE ur nose its wat makes u there just not used to seeing u thin, if ud of been thin all ur life they never would of said anything... =)

I know plenty of folks with "larger" noses and without exception, their noses are the endearing quality that makes them who they are! Sorry, but I love a face with CHARACTER. A beauty queen symmetrical face to me is one of the most boring visions on the planet. Ho Hum. Puts me to sleep. Give me a lopsided grin, a bump on a nose, funny dimples. THAT makes a person their unique and beautiful self. I will ALWAYS gravitate to those people first. They radiate interest.

Oh man, you know...the same thing is going to happen to me! When I was in junior high all I did was complain about my huge nose. The fatter I got the less I noticed. LOL Oh well, you definitely are GORGEOUS with your "broken nose". lol I'm glad you have a good sense of humor!

This is hysterical!! I would so sign up for it!! Hahahahahaha!!!!

You could always be ready with a line like "yeah the last person who told me WLS was the easy way out---she looks much worse!!"

I am totally surprised I did not get similar comments----although I think my nose remained large and bumpy throughout my weight gain, and eventual loss, so it looks no different!!! I did have one woman ask me if I had gotten my teeth capped!!!

Here's to those of us who "nose" best!!!

Oh man, I can relate. I've always obsessed more about my nose, than my weight. But now that I've lost weight, I feel so good about my body image, that I don't pay that much attention to my huge nose anymore. However if I had the money, I'd definitely pay for a rhinoplasty over a TT any day. But I'm not doing either one. I'm the way I am and that's it! And DH loves me no matter what size or shape I am so I'm content.
