CONSEDED or just excited ??
I kinda feel conseded these days with all of the pictures that I have my family take. I get so excited about trying on new clothes and they fit. For the first time in a long time I love to have my picture taken!
I do feel a bit odd with all the attention. that is something I have never really had or wanted. One of my biggest fears is to become someone I m not. Part of me enjoys the attention but another part of me thinks people will view me as being conseded.
Have you had to deal with this? What are your thoughts??
OH by the way I posted new Pictures... LOL

I need pictures to see my progress. I can see progress in my clothes, but it's not the same thing. I can't see anything when I look in the mirror. At the beginning of Sept, my school took their yearboodk photos. They use the photos for school id's as well. I got my pictures and compared to last year at the same time and decided 2 things, 1 - I could finally see some weight loss and 2 - I need to not wear a blue dress next year! And one of these days, when I get down to the basement to "MY" computer, I will scan in the two pics so everyone else can see the difference...besides, they are actually nice pics for an overweight me.

I don't think that you seem conceited just because you want to have your picture taken. I would too! Just remember those around you. My sister had RNY in April and is a lot more comfortable in front of the camera. She looks great! The only problem is that she seems to have forgotten how painful it is to have your picture taken when you are extremely overweight. She insisted that we all have our picture taken with my mom for her birthday. I remember feeling so aggravated because it was like she forgot what it was like for me. I can't be too upset with her though, because I wouldn't take anything for the picture...
Don't get me wrong about my sister. She is my best friend and number one supporter. Just sharing a little insight.

Thanks and I know what you are talking about. My daughter is a 22-24 and I am smaller than she is now and I know that is very hard for her. I am trying so hard to encourrage her and still not hurt her feelings. It is hard hard hard because I am so proud to feel good again and not sick!! Thanks for the insite!! Hugs!
