New Avatar and Pics

if anyone is interested..... I put them in my new blog on my profile.
I was trying to wait til I reached 75 lbs...im 3 lbs early..
I dont like them much....Ive never liked my pics...
I wonder if that will ever change

Lisa,
What a major difference!!!!! I understand you not seeing the difference, for so long I told my husband, "I'll ALWAYS be fat" but you know, after almost 18 months, my life is sooooooo different and I feel so much better.

You look beautiful, entire body smiling, not just the face.  Hang in there, we are here for ya!!!

Thank you, Thank you!   I keep saying that too!  at least to my husband..when I get really down. I know Im doing great....but its a shame the weight doesnt disappear over nite.. ya know?

It will change...the farther out you get the better you'll feel about yourself. I don't mind having my picture taken now.  It let's me try to get it into my head how small I am.  Body image (the head stuff) is the hardest to change.

Keep taking those pics....in a year, then two or three, you'll be glad you did!

Thank you Susan. I think you look awesome...you are such a beautiful person inside and out! 
As much as I hate cameras..I guess I will keep posing...lol

It really is in our minds.  It takes a while to catch up and sadly I think some people never "catch up" and feel skinny. 

I was sitting down yesterday as I was about to get into the bath and looked down & thought "look at all that fat - I can't even see my own vagina".  Logically, I know most of it is the extra skin on my stomach and my thighs/butt that spreads out when I sit down.  But to me, it looks like a bunch of fat. 

But even I have moments where I feel skinny - so I think we all do eventually get there mentally.  You'll see it on yourself eventually!

Great job! 

I know what you mean Wendy... I still look down and see that too... I guess I will for quite some time. Im just trying to be happy with what Ive done so far...and remember that Im not done yet..
=)

Oh man, I still hate getting my pic taken.  Now, though, it's because I can see all those wrinkles that the fat has left.  First thing, when I win the lotto, lol, is to get a face lift.

LOL....when I win the lotto...Im going shopping for a new wardrobe....monthly!  hahaha..
I look at my boobs and have decided they really need some pick-me-ups....and Im not talking bras here lol

Look how cute you are! You know what difference I see? The expression on your face. In your "before" picture it looks as though you just may kill whoever is taking the picture. In your new pictures, I see a little smile!!! You look great, keep it up and be proud!!!
