What do you think about old "fat" pictures?
I've always been a photogenic large person. Knew about angles, and such. Only the pictures when I was at my heaviest bother me but only slightly as when I took them I was happy. It's a part of me. I can't change the past. I have always loved myself just not the fat. If I there away all my fat photos I would have none.
We'll I'm only 19 days post op but I love all my pic n I will continue to do so after I lose my weight. I've always loved myself n I know I'm beautiful inside n out even if I'm over weight. My main reason for having surgery is because of health reason. Don't get me wrong I do want to lose weight but I can honestly say I love me n if there is anyone out there that do like me because of my weight guess what I don't care.
Definitely cannot even stand to look at those photos any more! I remember those bad feelings too, and the shame. It's really sad, actually. I don't have many puppy pics with my now deceased dog because I was overweight and hid for the most part. It's almost like a loss for me. Like a blackout.

I was always embarrassed....Never realized I was so Obese then saw photos of me (makes it worse that my Husband of 30 years is as petite as a jockey...5'4 and around 120) my son was thin and here I was 5'4 and around 300 lbs... I looked like a whale! When I would see the photos I felt sad at how fat I was and embarrassed. After that I rarely allowed ANY photos of me to be taken at all!!!!!!!! BUT, I saved many of them to remind me from where I came...How I felt (embarrassed) when I was fat, I felt "normal" even thin, but seeing the reality was horrible. Now I love to have photos of me with my son or hubby. I am smaller than him! I tease and call myself his trophy wife. *wink* He has always been there for me, never judged. But yeah, I just saved a few photos to keep as reminders of not getting fat again. Everyone is different, I was fortunate in that I never had anyone tease or abuse me for being fat...Especially since the weight REALLY piled on after my autoimmune disease and being on high prednisone and having to be in a motor chair. (Myositis)
Good luck!
Warmly.
