I recently changed jobs and my new firm requires a formal photo for the website. My photo shoot is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Even after losing 130 lbs, the thought of sitting for a photo is filling me with dread. It's so hard to wrap your head around the "new you" when old habits are so ingrained. I'm just hoping to get through the shoot with a descent photo and without a major anxiety attack. Wish me luck!

Best of luck! I have always avoided having my photo on any promotional material. I don't even have one on my LinkedIn profile. I am actually looking forward to getting to a place where I will feel comfortable getting my photo taken. Having a good professional headshot will give you such a boost. Have fun with it.

The irony on your situation is one we all may feel. When heaviest, we didn't see ourselves as fat and looked at meals and the world from the vantage point of a non-obese person. As we take the serious step of surgery to finally control our weight, we then shift to always thinking we are still heavy, even tho we have had incredible results and only a shadow physically of our former self.

You will do fine. And, hey, please share the pics with us :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
