Happy Birthday!

If you don't see your weight until you look at pictures now, it's a good indicator that you may have trouble recognizing how much weight you've lost later on. So... take MORE pictures.... you will need them later to illustrate to yourself that the number on the scale is actually showing on your body.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! You're right - what have I got to lose? I'm going to take more pics - not to show to anyone else - just to illustrate the difference in my body as it changes. It will give me a great visual! Smart thinking!

Thanks for the birthday greetings, Joyce! I think that we all cringe when we see how we really look to others. I'm so inspired by all the "before & after" pics I see on here! I want to join them!

Happy belated birthday.

I know what you mean about old b-day photos. There aren't many around as I ripped them up, but now i can say. "I'll never be that big again" and they are so embarassing. yes to not realizing how big we are/were until we see it in a picture.

you'll get there.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I think that most of us have ripped up or deleted many pics of ourselves when we were really heavy because it's just too painful to look at ourselves as others see us. I know that if I lose all my excess weight I will not allow myself to ever get so out of control again! Nothing tastes good enough to make me be fat again!

Happy Belated Birthday, Deb!

I think everyone on OH has been where you are and its a tough place to be. You have so much to look forward to, hopefully in the near future. Just keep that in mind when you're feeling down!

Thanks, Sandy! Yes, I do think of how much things will be changing for me once I've had my surgery and I am trying to concentrate on that and not on how I look right now!
