I never wanted to face how I was actually looking. <br /><br />Heavy or lighter- that is still me; I needed her to make the tough choices. And sometimes I need to see those old photos when I am feeling like a failure.... they help put things into perspective for me.

It seems like you have a lot of compassion and love for that version of you - and I think it's perfectly healthy! I imagine if I were thinner I might have a lot of contempt for my current self...but that's a whole other issue!Lola & Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315118615770978214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-61160918118013924992013-05-14T09:55:15.133-04:002013-05-14T09:55:15.133-04:00I keep both my old badge with my before picture an...I keep both my old badge with my before picture and my current one on my lanyard for work.

I look at them a lot, and they make me happy. They are a reminder of where I've been and why I'm doing this.<br /><br />They also represent a lot of very happy memories, and I love that. I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves my before pics. But I CAN'T WAIT to get to the "after".Holleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857003316936234230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-28706811727598172982013-05-13T22:29:26.627-04:002013-05-13T22:29:26.627-04:00I have an attachment to mine, too.

My license has an old picture and weight that I look nothing like, and no one dares question it, LOL!! How interesting you are challenged for being so much THINNER than your photo, because I bet people are fatter than their photos all the time. :-) My passport is more current, so now I'm wondering if when we go overseas in 18 months that could possibly be an issue - I'd kind of love that, right?<br /><br />But to YOU...interesting to wonder what all your reasons are. There could be tons of reasons, and they are not "good" or "bad"...but if you feel ready to let them go, because to you it feels freeing to do so and like you are more strongly identifying with the healthier version of yourself - that seems like an exciting place to be at. xoCherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021424631132894016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-45646918583754299862013-05-13T16:59:01.227-04:002013-05-13T16:59:01.227-04:00Colorado put the weight right there on the front o...Colorado put the weight right there on the front of the license too! I think I will keep what fat photos I have too. It's a good reminder of what I was and why I am working so hard. What photos people can find that is. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844920064007259028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-71599020793868249642013-05-13T16:57:59.954-04:002013-05-13T16:57:59.954-04:00man...I didn't think of my passport...your rig...man...I didn't think of my passport...your right..thats an old fluffy photo of me that I don't look like anymore!jennxazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494091103772165015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-60695754540213294112013-05-13T16:52:58.863-04:002013-05-13T16:52:58.863-04:00Oregon puts your weight right there on the front o...Oregon puts your weight right there on the front of your license?
