Before & After Pics ...... did you?

Is this weird?   I did not take before pictures..   

Just curious,  how many of you did?   Am I crazy?  

Personally I was/am  in the state of mind,  that I really did not want to remember what "size"  I had become.. and only wanted to concentrate on the future... 

While I feel the changes in my body.. and I can see the changes (somewhat) when I wear certain clothes... I just felt no desire to chronicle it...  in pictures...

Maybe I am in some sort of denial?   Who knows.. maybe I just lazy... bahahahahh


Thoughts?

I didn't take any before either.  My Mom keeps insisting I take a pic once a week.  I just don't want to see myself like this.

i have enough hideous pics of me to last a lifetime, i did indulge my sister and took a pic on the morning of surgery, i will take another at 1 year.

 I did let my brother take a picture of me just because a friend of mine told me I would be sorry if I didn't. I am not sure that is true-but then I got to thinking about the possibility of it helping someone else. 
When I get on this site-I always look at the before and afters. Some of the folk are not very big to begin with. I wish there were more bigger people-so I could get an idea of how much skin hang I am going to have....but I know it is individual anyway. But, at least I can represent an idea for people who are thinking about having the surgery and who are as big as I am/was....

I did not and even though I have enough "before" shots of me to last a lifetime.  I should have taken one and then I can taken a new pic every 3 months or so in the same spot, etc. to see the difference.  I look in the mirror and I can't see the change-so that is the only reson why I wish I had taken pics...for me and my mental block, not to necessairly share with the rest of the world-kwim?   Everyone else notices and all of my clothes are too big (I bought my first pair of size 14 jeans last week (in the petite section-not the women's!) which is compared to a size 20 or 22w last year.

 Didn't your Dr. take a before photo? I never wanted my photo taken before, but I did have my daughter take one. I am already glad that I did. During times that I am not losing (currently) it is nice to look at the picture and see that there REALLY is a difference already! I think I will continue to take the pictures once a month or so that I am able to 'see' the transformation my body will be going through. 

whew.... ok.. than I am normal...

Even though I have many pics of myself, they are not full pics since i'm very successful at hiding myself to a degree.  I will be getting a before pic taken before surgery so i can keep it on my fridge in  case i need a motivator.

So.... I'm on the vain side.  I take pictures ALL the time, new dress, new jeans,or just because I'm feeling super cute.  I also plan to take a picture in the 1 outfit that I saved that I wore at my highest weight.

Just me being me

I did have pictures taken at my highest, scary. My highest was 286lbs. I know people have pictures, I can think of who.

I had one taken before and I went in at 249.50. I was so stoked, since I didnt have to be opened up.

I know I am getting rid of my old clothes and keeping my highest pair of jeans (26W) and my favorite shirt for a visual.

I do plan on taking pictures through out the months, being overweight I didnt like my picture being taken.
