Changing avatar... I hope

 Decided it was time to change my avatar.  I am hoping my weight will be down nearly 50 pounds on my next visit and maybe I should show how happy it makes meLOL!!!

OMG I didn't recognize you.....really, I didn't recognize you. You look amazing! Cover the grey and you could pass for a women half your age!

 Thanks Charline!  I think I might need a little dry wall mud to go along with that hair dye though.  Thanks again - Suzanne

Suzanne, you look absolutely gorgeous :)

Wow!!!  You look awesome!!!  

Where is the new picture??

Hey, I cannot see it either! I feel robbed. I want to see the new you.

 I REALLY do not understand how this works???  I was in the process of changing my avatar last night when I saw a post from Deb commenting on my "new pic".  I still wasn't seeing it - only the same one that has been there right along.  CRRRAZY??? So, I signed off and then signed back on - still no change.  I signed off and shut down my computer and then turned it on and signed on again - still no change.  I basically gave up and then about 2 hours later - there it was.  I need to get more tech savvy.  I will post it to "My OH"  Thanks for asking and thanks to everyone for your very flattering comments 

I was curious enough to go to your OH and check out this picture. Please, I do not want to sound rude but I thought the lady in the picture with your DH must be your daughter!  MY GOODNESS. what a difference.  You look so much younger (this is where I beg forgivness) You are doing fantastic and you must feel like a million dollars.  Keep up the hard work as you are an inspiration to us all.

Cheers,

 I have to wonder when I read about how some over weight people - and I would venture to say most - are very unhappy with not only themselves but with life in general.  Can't say that I actually know anyone who is truly happy being obese!!!  I think when the physical weight starts to leave us so do the negative feelings and sadness.  In my humble opinion everything we lose is replaced with hope - hope for a normal and healthy  life.  I think it changes our attitude about life in general and just MAYBE shows on our face?  Happy always looks better than sad.  So this is all that I want -  to be healthy and be able to do things that people with a healthy BMI do.  No need to ask forgiveness - unless you are talking to my daughter LOL - and I won't tell.  Thank you so much for your kind words Sugarbear!
