y'know I really hate having my photograph taken.

Edited on Sun Mar-30-08 01:25 PM by auntAgonist

I keep thinking I should have one done professionally :shrug: Maybe for Christmas for my dad and family .. but for now, here's me a'la black dress yesterday.

size 8 down from size 5x womens
135 lbs down from 298
short hair versus waist length. (most of it fell out after surgery so I keep it short now and it's much healthier)
Hair coloured and cut a few weeks ago.

3. Very pretty!

The hair, the dress, and YOU! No one would ever look at you and suspect that you had ever been overweight!

Thanks for sharing! :hi:

4. It's strange, I still see me as overweight.

I think I look 'fat' in some pictures, sometimes. Weird I know. The scales tell me one thing, the clothes agree but some days the head wants to argue.

I really hesitated to put that picture up but decided to do it anyway, here is a lot safer than the lounge :)

:hug:
I hope you're feeling well and managing to stay somewhat calm as you go through your trials and tribulations K. I think of you all the time and hope for only the best.

5. You would get a great response in the Lounge, I guarantee!

I'm feeling fine and anxious to head to Houston for my Tuesday appointment at MD Anderson. Thanks for the positive thoughts! I'm staying at a hotel near the hospital and getting free wireless internet so I'll post an update if there's any news. Thanks, Hon! :hug:

6. I completely second that motion.

You look absolutely gorgeous and there's no evidence at all that you once weighed more than twice what you do today.

You have so much to be proud of, Kesha. I look at your picture and it gives me a glimpse of what I can achieve if I stick with it (um, not that I'll be posing for my after photos in a black dress. Or, um, heels.... Um, um, nevermind....) :blush:

Seriously, though, thank you for being such a source of encouragement and inspiration to all of us!

:hug: :yourock: :hug:

thank you for sharing your picture with us; I understand how you feel about not wanting your picture taken. I'm the same way. I've had no pictures of me taken in over 6 years.

Your dress is just beautiful, and your hair and YOU look wonderful!! :bounce: :hug:

10. thanks I really appreciate your kind comments.

Even after I posted the picture I had 2nd thoughts. I really don't like having my photo taken but i think it does me good .. strange I know. I really have to get over the insecurity, I think that's what it is.

anyway, thanks :)

12. Congratulations on the weight loss! That is fantastic!

:hug:

You look like you're a little uncomforable posing for that picture, but you look great. If you were a little more relaxed you would look fantastic.

14. You look very good.

I've just started down the protocol road for a verticle sleeve. I'm starting at about 60 lbs higher than you did.. but then, I'll be happy if I can just fit in airline seats again.
