Finding Old Pictures of Yourself!

What does it feel like when you come across old pictures of yourself?  My daughter needed pictures for preschool from the day she was born for a preschool project they are working on and I was at my most absolute highest weight when I had her.  Truth be told I have no idea how much I weighed but I know it was over my highest known weight of 390 pounds......I am looking at these pictures and just can't believe it!  I never took that many pictures of myself ever so they are far and few between but these are shockers for sure!  Granted I just gave birth to a baby but still!  Horrified! 

I am now 10 months post-op and down 206 pounds.  It's so refreshing!  I feel like I am in someone else's body and keep waiting for someone to come take it away from me!

Here is a couple of pictures taken by me with my cell phone so they are kind of cheesy but this is me last week!  Weighing in at 184 pounds! 

Heading out for a 5K run!  ME  Running....who would think?

First of all, you look FABULOUS!.

I've realized I don't have a lot of 'before' pictures, I avoided the camera. I have a particular one on my fridge and every now and then one of us in the family will say " I can't believe that's you" or something like that.

I was actually looking for before pics recently and yes they are few and far between but it is a shock to see how big i was. You are looking fantastic and should be so proud of how well you have done in such a short period of time.

OH...MY...GOD!! You go girl!!

I hate seeing old pics of me. However...you have inspired me to see if I can find some from friends. I need a good "check-in" with my body dysmorphia methinks!

I am ot proud o fthe weight I was..but truthfully I wasn't really concerned or embarassed.

 

 I am now more embarassed about those pictures now then I was when I was at the higher weight.

 I was one of those people who was comfortable in my own skin.

 

congrats on your substantial weight loss and continued good health~!

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss. 

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!.  Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
