Dont Recognize Myself

[lawismylife 41]

Never thought this would happen, but since I lost weight and am close to goal, my face has changed very drastically. I always has a "thin" face even when I was at 40 BMI, but now at 30 BMI it's very different from I ever remember looking. Even when I weighed this same weight before. I feel in a way I am reluctant to lose more because I don't like my face as much... Anyone feel the same way?

I would rather be slim with a few wrinkles than fat with a moon face and multiple chins.

I've noticed some strange looks when I need to give my license to enter a secured building. I was about a 160 pounds heavier in that picture. I would rather be thinner.

I'm just starting to recognize myself in mirror again, well recognize who I thought I would one day look like. But I understand what you are saying. I sometimes stop and look in mirror because I can't believe the skinny face or body belongs to me. I like my thin face and especially my thinning neck. But still some work needs to be done there.

What's really funny is when people I've worked with for years who haven't seen me in a while say I didn't recognize you. And my license, oh my! I was broken out, PMSing, 65 pounds heavier and hate the DMV with a passion. My photo is horrid!!

Oh so much of what I felt was written here. My drivers license still has the old picture. But my Visa card has the new picture. It was easier to change the Visa card and passport than to go to the DMV!! I was years not able to see my collar bones and to not wear nice necklaces unless they had an extender. The 1st time I saw myself in the overhead mirror at Target, I did not recogize ME!!!Most people that I know don't remember me as the fat lady at church! But, that was who I was and didn't want people to only know me that way, anyway!!!Best wishes to us all! Karen
