I realized the other day that this is maybe the first time in my life I weigh LESS than it says on my driver's license. Who's with me?

I am glad my state doesn't require weight, saves me from telling a Lie!! Can't wait for the day when I no longer have to tell the nurse in my doctors office, to not to say my weight out loud cause I don't want my husband to hear. :huh:

Why would it have your weight on it anyway?! Weird!!! I'm in Scotland!!! My weight used to change on a daily basis!!! So would almost always be a lie if I had to put something on it!

It's for identification purposes,weight fluctuates but for most people their weight is generally stable. Suppose you were in an accident and multiple people were in the car, your ID would help them identify you. There are soooo many other scenarios where this information would be helpful.

This is a big NSV I'm hoping for! I've been thinking about it for months. I have to renew my license on my birthday this year (March 7th) and I'm 22 pounds from the weight on there now. I want to be at that weight when I renew in a few months. I'm 6 months out and have slowed to an average of 10-11 lbs/month so I'm going to be cutting it close but I'm really hoping!

I need a new picture. I mean I REALLY need a new picture. California is really stingy about doing that too. I was walking around for 15 years with my 16 year old self on the license. The last couple times I renewed they would not take a new one.

Now the picture is of me 100 pounds heavier. I should demand a new picture and say they refused to take my identification fro my credit card purchases.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
