Tonight I almost wasn't let into the bar...

...because I look so different from my ID! I haven't really gone out in quite awhile, so I had no reason to show anyone my ID. I went out to a concert tonight and finally had to show the dreaded picture to get into the bar. The bouncer didn't believe that I was who I said I was! He made my write my signature 3 times to prove it. At 98 lbs down, I can understand...but it's still a frustrating/happy experience. Looks like it is time for a new ID! I wanted to wait until I'm at goal weight, but I'm afraid of going out with friends and actually being turned away from a venue. Anyone else have a similar experience??

    Haha! I used to have the opposite problem...I had a skinny ID picture and a fat face! For now, I'm carrying both copies with me. :) But thank you, guys! Tonight really assured me that there IS a difference.

    Thinking about it, I'm lucky all my ID was done during the dips in my yo-yoing. I've only lost about 30 lbs and old friends still blank me!

    I had this issue too.. I had to get new ID. It made me feel good and I am holding onto the old ID as motivation :)

    Wow, that's amazing, I would not have thought of that! When I've lost weight, I don't look that too differently than I did, face-wise, but then again, I've never lost that much. I can see how that would be frustrating, but man, that's a great sign! :)
