Keep your head up and get back in it! I think it's only natural to want instant gratification in pictures and we all know that pictures add 15 lbs to each of us, so it's not the real test. I also think that you know that you have probably lost about 5 sizes by now and that is such a huge accomplishment!!! Since you have more weight to lose, pat yourself on the back for getting where you are today, get refocused and mean with it girl, and look forward to this summer when you will be fine and oh so sexy ;)

Hah! I'm not feeling that I'll be hot and sexy but as long as I can be healthy and not so darn fat I'll be good :)

I know exactly what you mean, so here's my example from a few weeks ago. Same day, same outfit, but the angle makes all the difference. When I saw the second one my friend took & posted all I could think about was how ginormous my ass still is. I'm pretty sure that even if I lose another 50 or 60 lbs I'll still be carrying enough junk for me & 2 others. :P

Hmmm interesting. Cause when I saw that on FB the only thing I thought was "she looks so happy". No thoughts of your ass entered my mind :P

Hey there, Redbean...You have had such great success - 53 pounds is amazing. Please don't put value in some crappy Thanksgiving day photo.

I am not sure I have every liked a pic taken of me - at any weight.

Keep your chin up and be proud of what you've accomplished and look forward to the future.

I'm going to copy your signature here - read it until you believe it! :-)

I think you looked fantastic!! I also think that seeing pictures of ourselves take some time to accept. We have spent so many years not even letting someone take a picture and loathing the pictures that they managed to take that we just automatically shut down a good picture because of what we are so used to seeing in our minds. We can't even see the good picture staring us in the face. I also agree that angles and bad photographers play a major part in the pictures we are looking at. Be happy because I think you look amazing! You have come a long way! :)

Luckily, having a ginormous ass does not prevent me from being happy. And it tends to make Tony happy, too. B)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
