Bump
wasn't sure where else to post this...
... didn't think it was worth a new thread
so, I recently got a letter in the mail the other day that I am up for renewal on my license (geez, has it really been 5 years?)
it says I have the option to either renew online (which would mean keeping the same picture) or go down to the DMV and take a new picture
now in my last picture I was noticeable around 50 pounds over weight
I since lost the weight (actually it was around that same year) an I've more or less kept it off over the years
so, my question is do I keep my fat pic? or take a new one?
on one hand as much as I don't care for the reminder of those days, an am sometimes embarrassed to show my ID (because of it) on the other hand as superficial as it sounds I kinda like getting to say "ya, I lost lot of weight since then" when someone does checks my ID and does a double take
I am not usually the cocky type who likes to brag, but I am proud of my accomplishment, and work very to keep in shape these days, so I feel like I have the right too
but I was also thinking, what if I update my photo an over the next 5 years gain the weight back (knock on wood) then I would be showing a skinny picture an having to tell people I gained weight


I couldn't get a good scan of my actual licenses photo (cause of the hologram)
but, here's a before an after example (of around how I looked back then and now)
