I never thought I would be proud to post the ones taken at 296 lbs, but now I'm definitely glad I have them. My results so far aren't as impressive as some...

Hey Sweetie..
You sound like me right now. My intellect says I'm WAY far ahead of the curve, but my mind says that I should be at my goal or below...

Then I remember, I'm an abnormal freak. I'm further down than I actually should be.

I *know* as an intellectual human being that I am way ahead of my curve, but my "feeling" mind says "hey fattie...lose some more & do it damn fast". As some of our DF's here have pointed out to several people several times...It's NOT about the loss...Its about how one feels now & what we've achieved thus far.

I still have reservations about posting my pre-op pictures. And hats off to ya'll that do. Ya'll have more balls than me. I have a hard time accepting that I let myself get to 170+kg. It's easy to say it, easy to write it, but to post a photo is admitting I really was it...

sorry if I hijacked the thread...

You guys are all so great! Thanks for your kind words. I'm actually feeling more confident in myself than I have in a very, VERY long time. I want to get up and go out tonight- try to have some fun. You make me all warm and fuzzy inside.

I wasn't going to get back on TT tonight, but I had an awesome Wow Moment. I'm a teller at a local Money Service Business; every week this guy comes in and he's always been one of my favorite customers because he's so sweet. We were talking after we had finished the official business, and he asked me on a date! I haven't ever been asked on a date. Ever.

I told him maybe, because I'm not really sure if I should. He's one of my customers, and I'm not exactly sure how old he is, but I'm guessing around 25 years older than I am. He doesn't seem the type of guy to only want sex, but I just don't know. I don't even think he realizes how young I am lol, most people assume I'm at least mid-twenties.

He told me he'd check again next week, so I need some advice. Any one want to throw me a bone?
