While I'm losing and my body is changing, I take pictures regularly on my phone. So i do carry pictures around unintentionally. But having those pictures do help me on those days that I just can't see a change. And it's just fun to see myself get more BA. Haha.

I've never really hated how I looked, so seeing before pictures doesn't bother me.

I do carry a before picture on my phone. I've had so many people tell me that I was never fat, and when I show them the before they are so surprised! Its a reminder for me that I NEVER want to go back there either.

Nope. While there may be some "before" pictures on my iphone or Facebook, I never made the decision to carry one with me as a reminder. No need, thanks. I know where I've been.

I did in the first few years as it was where I was in life. Now, no! I don't ever forget but it does not define me nor value me.

I have a picture ID badge that I have to use to clock in at work. It's a really old picture and looks nothing like me. It split in half a while back. I went to HR to get another on taken, but instead they just printed off the old one. They wouldn't take another one. They didn't care if it looked like me or not..oh well. I do look at it sometimes if I start thinking about heading to the vending machines.

Good grief! What good is an "identification" badge if it doesn't look like you? Your HR is weird...
