Pre-op Pics
So last night I decided to take a few pre-op pics of myself in my bathing suit and then only in panties. We used a digital camera, so I could see the pics right after. I am STUNNED!!! I know this sound silly, but I can't believe that my stomach is so large - that my legs have fat in places I didn't know - that I looked that awful in my bathing suit.
Funny thing is...not 3 hours before this, I was teaching a swimming instructor course at our pool. I wore the same bathing suit, walked around the pool deck for over 4 hours in it, and for some reason I felt slimmer - good about myself. I am pretty comfortable with my body, thus I think the reason I let myself get so obese.
Has anyone else experienced this? Why can I not see this every day in the mirror - why did it take taking a few pictures for me to see the real outside of me? The naked pics of me were easier to look at than those where I was wearing clothes.....any thoughts?
T-minus 9 days.....
