Dolores33778 248 Posted February 11, 2015 Sometimes I feel like I'm crossing a fine line between showing off and being proud. Between bragging and inspiring others. I was hesitant to post this, still not used to the comments but I'm trying to get passed all that. I am proud of where I am and am happy to help others in any way I can.

Sharpie 3,306 Posted February 11, 2015 well, if I looked like you honey I would flaunt . You have earned it. I think we tend to stay out of the spotlight as obese people. I know I hated to have my picture taken and I tried to avoid it but since my surgery and weight loss I feel more confident about having pictures taken.

gowalking 10,790 Posted February 15, 2015 Keep posting those pictures. You worked hard to make the changes we see in those photos so be proud of your achievements. Besides...I look at my before/after pics all the time. It helps me to see the new me because I still struggle with being the fat girl. Great job and keep it up!! Long term WLS success stories is what inspires me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
