vegasneon 181 Posted August 28, 2013 Those pictures someone takes without you being aware are the worst! My daughter took a picture at a Birthday party where I thought I was successful at staying out of camera range and it is horrifying! It definately is my worst "before". 1 twinsmama05 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2btrim 129 Posted August 28, 2013 I've got some of those pictures, recent ones too. They are hard to look at because when I look in the mirror, I just don't see myself that big. Its a good idea, to have some current ones right before your surgery. Hopefully in a few months I'll be posting my before and afters also. You look AMAZING lady, keep up the great work, and be proud of yourself, you've worked hard! 1 twinsmama05 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twinsmama05 166 Posted August 28, 2013 Thank you everyone. I can honestly say I thought i looked good in that dress when I bought it! I look now and uggh!! The candid shots yes! The worst!! My 8 year old twins said oh mommy you were fat!! Lol!! I was so I can't argue with them! But in the same way I look at my before pic and never thought I looked like that, I look at my now pic and I don't see what others see now. When I look in the mirror it's still a heavy me but not the obese me from last year. Anyone feel that way? 1 SDH reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think no matter how much we all loose, no doubt we know we look better and feel better there will always be that insecure heavy person inside lurking. Not haunting me but there It's a good thing because it keeps you going because I never ever want to go back to square one 3 2btrim, Richard Foor and SDH reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
