PreOp pictures...painful?

 
Makes me sad, embarrassed and I can (right now) switch my head back to the state of mind that I had back than when I see an old photo.......

On the flip side it reinforces the positive changes I have made.

- I feel sorry for the old me.......

- I'm getting to the point just now.......where I'm proud of the new me.....

And BB.... please don't get the urge to delete any of your pics or blog post........

You have the most well chronicled WL journeys I've ever seen and it is sure to benefit others that are interested in the process !!!!

When I first saw your before entries both photos and blog posts......before you lost weight.....one thought came to mind......."This is one BRAVE girl!" cause I could never put it out there like that!

You can so tell from your photo and blog progression..... there is a person coming forward that was always there.....that person is just emerging forward from the background.

I'm proud of your success and how real you keep it...........

 I agree with Frisco!  You have documented your journey so thoroughly, and with such candor!  I was on OH for a few months trying to work up the courage to have surgery; you were an absolute inspiration to me.  Looking at your photos and reading about your journey helped me decide that I deserved this surgery so that I could stop limiting myself and my life.  Taking photos off facebook is one thing, but I hope you decide to leave them and your blog up on OH for a long time to come!  

BB I just took a glance at your profile (before pics) you are gorgeous, Thank you for restoring my faith that i too (hopefully) will be there when i am as far out as you are. Do your thing girlfriend......

I had my before pics taken by a professional photographer so they looked really good.  lol  I can see how I am held back, I know how I felt inside at the time.  You are so pretty and you know who you are on the inside and what you went through then helps you be who you are today and appreciate the changes to it's fullest. :)

i always delete the old pictures because of the way they make me feel
