Default shocking before photo ~ made us say WOW

OK I never thought i was this big so I was shocked...i have posted a few before photos before & never did i think i looked baad or morbidly obese - but this weekend i decided to get organized and start scrapbooking again - we moved from vegas back to Orangevale a little over 2 years ago & i have not scrapbooked any photos i have taken since being home....I am way behind becase I LOVE to take photos...when my husband came across this photo he said who's this than quickly said OMG you are going to die heather....i looked at the photo and I too thought who is taht person - unlike others i have never thought of myself as morbidly obeses or huge i thought i was a little overweight but now i am thinking thatnk god i had this surgery i was FAT!

I do need to go back to the log and retake the photo which i will do this Oct at one year out....

the other photos all have dates on them and i feel like i look bigger in the photo on the log than in my before photo in the swim suit - i must have been sucking it in or something even thought i was trying not to....

i just tought i would share my WOW photo

That's an amazing difference Heather! It's fun to go back thru the photos when you're not the same person physically that was in them!

Heather - Thanks for sharing your photos- Fantastic...

Deep in my heart of hearts I must confess that your quote of "I'm not embarrassed & my kids aren't embarrassed of me" has touched me like no other. I am 37 and have two boys a 6 and a 3 year old and I want to be able to feel what you mean in your quote.

Thank you so much for writing your quote and putting into perspective something that I have been denying...
