I really had to smile because I find myself actually doing this, although maybe a little more subtly. :lol: I've moved since I've lost the majority of my weight, and people see me now as the person who has a bit over 20 lbs. to lose, not the person who had 100 lbs. to lose. I find myself wanting them to know about what I consider my major life accomplishment in the past couple of years. Nobody believes that I have lost that much so sometimes I have to whip out the before picture (proudly! :) ). It's good to know that others have done this, and that at some point, I'll get beyond this and realize that I have a lot more in my life to be proud of than just my weight loss.
