2 months post op

I just had my husband take a picture of me since I"m 2 months post op. We forgot to take my 1 month post op pic. Anyhow, I posted the pics on my profile, but the reason I'm writing is because I NEVER realized how BAD I looked prior to the surgery. Looking at both pictures I am shocked at what I used to look like. I can't believe I thought that was acceptable for me. I am so happy I decided to go ahead with this surgery. These pics for me were quite eye opening and if not even more reason for me to reach my goal.

Peace out everyone!

Hi

I went to a support meeting yesterday and asked if anyone had their "before" pictures and out of 10 people only 1 woman was able to show me a picture and it was in her phone because many admitted they hated the way the looked in pictures so they stopped taking them. Ihave been unable to avoid taking them but I cringe when I see pictures of myself (even my wedding pictures) and can't wait until the day I can smile when I see a picture of my TRUE self with the layers of fat that have covered me for so many years gone. I also love the quote you have on your post. Its simple, but powerful. Good luck with reaching your goal.
