Do you lie on your driver's license?

Here in AZ, a DL is good for 25 years ..... Can you believe it??!!

After I lost my weight, I had 3 different TSA Agents (during business trips) encourage me to get a renewal so that my ID matched my reality.

I used to lie, but I don't anymore!

Omg that is so funny. Yes I lied on my drivers license. Way too embarrassing to tell the truth. Don't worry you are not alone. Best of luck to you.

My license still says 275. I'm no where near that anymore, but when I renewed it that's what I weighed. I never lied about my weight because I figured the only person I'd be fooling was myself. I understand why people do it though. No one who has seen my DL since my surgery has ever made a comment about the listed weight not matching with how I look; not sure how I feel about that...haha. 

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

My friend works at a bank and looks at driver's licenses all the time.  She told me most women list their weight at 125 no matter what size they actually are.

I lied for probably 15 years or so when I was SMO, but no need to lie any more!!

Me too, I don't lie anymore.  In CA, licenses can be renewed by mail, and this year mine was due for renewal, but I didn't do it by mail - I went in and got a new photo.  Passport is next; I got my passport a couple months before my WLS, so it'll be good for another six years.  So far I haven't had a problem when traveling, but I still cross my fingers every time.  Then only my work photo ID will be an old pic, but I'll be retiring in a year, so no point getting that updated.  (Besides, they charge $10 for a new pic!)
