White lies

[3momchaos]

Today I realized that my drivers license weight is accurate for the first time in…forever? Then it got me thinking about the white lies I’ve told myself over the years to make excuses for myself or justify my food behavior. A big one for me was if I was really active I’d have a massive meal or lots of horrible snacks and say that I “needed” the calories. Another was if I exercised I’d say I “earned” a treat-but a huge bowl of ice cream isn’t a treat! I’m finding through this entire process how much more accountable I am holding myself because no one is going to do it for me. Just interesting how the brain can change so much in a year.

Now I just looked at my drivers license for the first time in my life I weight less that what it says. WOW

Boy am I glad that in New York State they don't put weight on a drivers license!!!!

WOW is right. I actually now am lower than the weight I admitted to on my license. I cringe at my picture, bc the license doesn't expire for 5 years. Ugggggh! After I approach my goal weight, I do believe I will treat myself to a new copy with an updated picture. Thanks for your insight on this.

I know I am 80 lbs less now then my picture but only 30 lbs less on the printed weight. Speaking of white lies. LOL

LOL. Too funny - I checked my license (Ohio) and just knew I would have lied about my weight. They don’t put weight on there, but they do put height, and I had added an inch to my height…..what the????

OMG I'm not even going to tell you what a BIG FAT LIE my WDL weight is! But you know what? Any cop who pulled me over would totally believe it!

Ha! I too lied on my DL and now I’m 20 pounds less than what it says.

I'm not going to look at mine. I will say that the clerk at the surgeon's office insisted on taking a new picture of me today because the old one didn't look like me anymore (which is why I a good thing)!

YOU all got me excited! My DL is up for renewal in July 2022. I'm looking forward to renewing it now.
