You learn something new every day!

They make you put your weight on your driver's license??? They don't do that in MASSACHUSETTS...... omg!     soooooo.   this made me think of an interesting thing.....  Have you all changed your driver's licenses yet?   will you?    How about your  photo?      I just was stunned... I read about this on the Main board forum.   i had no idea that some states, made you put a weight on your I.D.   I guess I never thought about it??? In Massachusetts we have to put our height, and any restrictions for vision and what class driver we are like for the type of vehicle we drive.    After I got to goal I had my photo changed.    When I got to the RMV I told a white lie and said that I had been very ill and had lost a lot of weight and needed my photo changed.    The man was nice.   But when I first got up to the counter he was not nice until I had said I was ill.    So, I dont know... I feel a little guilty about saying I was ill, although..... morbid obesity is an illness.... i dont know...  I guess i didnt have to say anything but "Could you please retake my photo?"    uggh.    I got tired of everyone looking at the ID and making comments all the time.  I guess I should have felt "proud" but I just felt Shame.....   I want to feel proud.... so this is an area I need to focus on and work on... .and I will.... over time. thanks for letting me post this... hugs! J.

Yes they make us put our weight on our licenses here in SC...However...I have always lied and said I was way way way way less.

And yes my picture is ugly as you know what and I am going to change my pic on my license and might tell the truth about my weight this time...not sure yet. It is due to expire in Nov...but it is falling apart so I might have to go do it even sooner.

J ~ No thanks are ever needed from you ... you can post anything you darn well please here!  (At  least until OH starts focusing on the State boards with those scary Moderator eyes like they do on the main board.) I've lived in GA and SC, and both states have  your weights on the license.  For years, mine said 180, then I got a little more honest in the mid-80's and changed it to 230.  That's where i left it ... even when I weighed 330! I had my WLS last May, and my license was due to be renewed this past March, so I was looking forward to having the picture and weight changed to something a little more honest.  Before March got here, I got a few comments from store clerks who noticed the difference in my picture.   I had so much fun going in for my new license, and telling them to change that freakin' weight!  (Although I lied again ... I said 170, which is my goal right now.  It's not too much of a stretch .. I'm only 8 pounds away.)  And for the first time since I was 16, I was not mortified at my license photo!

And no shame on the white fib you told to get that new photo on your license.  I can imagine I would have done the same thing, if my renewal date hadn't fallen at the right time!

I almost DIED when I moved here from Texas.  I lied.  Then I gained some wieght. When I re-newed my license, I lied some more. I had lost almot 60lbs. before my license and what I really weighed were the truth! I weigh less than my license now, but I still think I look like my pictre. And when I do change my picture, if they ask about my weight loss, I'm gonna tell them I lost all the weight by eating dung beetles and drinking a cup of my own urine once a week.  Then maybe they will hurry up and get my stuff done just to get me outta there.  They are sooooo slow!  LOL!
