I broke down and took it....

.... a picture that is. I am not sure if you are obese but in my life and having been obese and now morbidly obese the camera is a mortal enemy. To see a picture of myself is one of the most horrifying things on the planet. So here they are for posterity the "BEFORE" Shots...

The View from the Front

On the left now...

"About Face"

Right turn here

When I look at the above pictures my mind is shocked. For so long I have lived in some form of delusion that my body is just not that big. I hear that a lot of people after undergoing surgery and loosing massive amounts of weight still look at themselves as "Fat" its kind of like your mind translates to what it is used to seeing.

I have always been over weight most of the time by only about 20 to 50 lbs. I had a baby in 93 (in a size 9 when I got pregnant) and I maintained between a 14 and 18 for about 6 years. In 2002 I started to wear a 20 and slowly over the last 3 years I grown to a 24.

To see those words in black and white and to admit that in itself is very tough thing to do. I quit smoking Nov 1, 2004 and gained 30 lbs in less than 6 months. THAT FRIGGIN' SUCKS!!!!

So here they are friends, the before pictures. I will post photos monthly after surgery just so we can keep track :)
