Are you surprised when you look at your pictures?

    I don't know, any photos taken of me when I was a lot bigger, I already deleted or threw out. My granny always managed to get me looking like a killer whale, it horrified me, so I would toss em. All other photos, except in my PP, are all head shots. My PP is the first one in about 5-6 years that I had posted publicly. I do have some progress photos in my phone, but I'm in my bra lol

    I've never really stopped thinking of myself as I was when I was young, which is slender, about 120--so every picture I see from the last many years (up to 245 at peak) is a huge shock. Because I've lost only 19 lbs. so far, the difference in the new pictures is still subtle. I can tell the difference best when I look at a before-and-after zipper picture.

    Yes, it makes me regret not taking more pictures as I was losing to be honest.

    I would pay money to change that photo. Hmm... maybe this could be a revenue idea for states? LOL
    Hah, I had to take a new photo for my ID last year. The difference between that and my drivers license is staggering.

    I just looked back through some pics, and....good grief, yes. These were some pics I felt pretty in too, which I guess is a good thing. But....I was big.

    I'm struggling a bit with how I look now though. It's great but looks/feels alien to me. I still have a little weight left to lose, but in current pics my face looks gaunt.

    It's all just weird.... I don't know how odd it is for me to miss the previous version myself just because it was familiar.....
