DMV/New Picture/NSV

[ProudGrammy 8,322]

after 100 lb weight loss, I wanted new picture for drivers license

talked to clerk about my wt loss and WLS - he told me he had gastric bypass 5 years ago (small world)- and except for about 5-10 lbs he sometimes teeters with, he's doing great (water, Protein et al - doing terrific) - he lost 170 lbs and he looked great

even though clerk didn't have the sleeve, its nice to see someone "long term" post WLS - continue to be successful

i have heard some people do gain all their weight back, i guess that can happen to any of us (not to me of course!!! )

he called other clerk over, showed my old license to her - they both couldn't believe it was me!!!

If i do say so myself ( and I do!!!) my new picture is pretty darn good - all modesty aside i DO look great - feel great too

I have always enjoyed your posts and advice given to others. You are one wise grammy!!! You have lost 100 pounds- amazing! You are an inspiration to me! I really hope you always check in periodically and check on us now that you have reached your goal. I have a good feeling you will. All the best to you! I think this is the best gift we can give to ourselves and right in time for Christmas!!! I commend you!

I agree that you are an inspiration to us all. Also, getting a new driver's license is an NSV I hadn't even considered yet--thanks for giving me one more thing to look forward to!

Congrats Grammy That's probably the only way you'd get me to a DMV voluntarily prior to renewal LOL

i knew that comment would eventually come up

i'm still not comfortable around cameras - but i'm gonna give it the all American try
