Please post a picture of YOU!!!!!!

Here is my before at roughly 400lbs.



Here is a picture that is more current.

It isn't always about not wanting fat photos online...some people defer for business reasons, some have personal safety issues and some are old enough to have had parents who taught them:  "Fools' names and fools' faces are often seen in public places."  (That doesn't mean we think that those who DO post names and photos are fools...but WE just can't go there.)

Yes - this is my reason.  I'm a counselor.  I share all here on the forums.  I can't afford to have my clients see my photo here and read my thoughts - this is my time, my therapy.

I don't post mine anymore because some old ass turd not only took my picture and photo-shopped it green and named it "Shreck ", but she kept re posting it for her and her friends amusement.

Susan,

I remember your original avatar and if I didn't know it was you I would never be able to recognize you.  You seemed to have erased about 20 years of time off your face and wardrobe.  WLS did you good.

As for avatars I have had many over the years, I never stick to one, I go back and forth between things and my face, I doubt anyone really cares what I do.

Ugh! I give up I can't get the picture to post.

I had a hard time uploading photo's of myself first if all.  Which I didn't have much to choose from because I am always the picture taker to avoid being in the pictures.  I used my dog, whom I just recently had to put to sleep, I love seeing his sweet face everyday even though I can't see it in person.  I will work on the whole self portrait issues.  Until then I love seeing my puppy.

I am working on getting a more recent picture.  I have lost about 15lbs since this was taken.  The before was taken in 2002, right before my first WLS, at my highest weight 240lbs.
