    I am in the same boat as Becky. I lost 65 lbs 2 years ago then gained back 30! I am now on the road to losing again (3 weeks in and serious). I avoid pictures like the plague and get mad if my husband tries to take pictures of me. I know, once I get down another 20, I will be better about it. As for the hair and makeup? I wear makeup everyday and do my hair, but one of my plans will be to have someone other than myself color and cut it. I work with a lady who is morbidly obese and is very unkempt, lets her gray hair grow out from the dark brown INCHES before she does it again. She looks sad, wears frumpy clothes too and no make up. I believe whats inside a person can be reflected on the outside. When we are heavy and not feeling good about ourselves, we do take less care.

    I believe it all goes hand in hand! How you feel about yourself on the inside reflects what you look like on the outside. Before I started eating healthier and exercising, I never cared about what I wore, washing my face every night, using skn creams or anything else but now, 47 pounds down I am feeling so much better and taking the time to actually care again. So yes, how you feel about yourself on the inside is a definate reflection on the outside and that is kinda sad really!

    I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the before pictures are raondom pictures that were taken without warning, where as the after pictures people KNOW they are taking and dress themselves up for the picture to post!
