When you need to renew your Driver's License....

And you are smaller than the weight you lied about weighing last time.

Last time I subtracted 40 lbs LOL

Yeah don't come to Ohio, although they finally deleted the Social Security numbers off the licenses they do still put weights. Back when I was still working at Wal-Mart, my assigned area was right next to Sporting Goods so often I would go over there, and sell Hunting and Fishing ones. Guy. asked me " Why do I need my weight on my Hunting License?"I told him, if someone shoots you we'll have an easier time identifying the BODY.
So many years I have claimed 250 as a weight, now that I am well below that -''I had better make an honest woman of myself!

In Massachusetts, they put your AGE on your driver's license.

My NSV from this morning is my BMI is 29.9. I've gone from obese to overweight!

Ready to do that myself, just almost ready to surmount. the Onederland boundary.
Hey I have a new NSV! On our local shuttle buses there is an arm rest between seats you can flip up to sit down, leaving local hospital , visited the ER on a little bowel-related issue, sat down on the seat without flipping it up, and I didn't have to flip the center one up to get enough room for my over-sized backside to sit. Baby's Backside Cheeks going Bye Bye and I plan it to be forever! Not only was it BIG before but it had an upward swoop line a Ducks, my kids when they were in a Gerry backpack would put their feet down on it, and stand up while I was hiking along. Was nothing for me to walk to Westerville, Worthington or over to the Ohio State University district. Now I moan at walking 4-5 blocks, oh I do it, but I still moan!
And after years of owning up to 250, even when I was over 300, I can't,pass for that weight anymore, not when I am ready for the 100s! Yippety Skippee Yahoo for ME!

Had a great NSV today.

My spa has normal/plus size robes for us ladies.

Today the tech led me over to the lockers with the normal size robes.
Could hardly believe it!

LOL I subtracted 88 on mine 🤦‍♀️

I went to get my license with all of my friends and I was a little embarrassed to write my actual weight on the application in front of all of them. Oh well. I'm hoping to get to that weight soon!

Just had Ambulatory Surgery to remove a cyst, not feeling too bad, getting over the General they gave ME. My new NSV, I no longer need the "OMG--- Just How Big ARE YOU," size, I got a "Normal" and had enough room it met in the back, so no more "Moon over Miami" for ME!

      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
