Default Dr. Atkins made an honest woman of me...

(Second attempt to post)

Yesterday I was giving my drivers liscence to a shop clerk and I realized that for the first time in over a decade, the listed descriptors were accurate. Over the years, like many I think, I began to "fudge" on the weight data. At the time of my last renewal, I had under reported my weight... by 50 pounds!!!!

Now due to my low carb lifestyle, should I get stopped or lose my wallet, someone picking up my ID and reading the stat section might actually recognize me. Currently, even the haircolor info is accurate.

Has this ever happened to you?

I noticed (before I got pregnant again) that I was actually less than what my driver's license said! And yes, I had listed myself about 20 pounds less than what I was when I got it.

You can look forward to being under that number soon!

LOVE the title.

He really did, he really did. Congrats on matching your old stats... even if they were lies.

My license doesn't have my weight on it. I find it silly that they make you list it anyway.

Keep on truckin!

I've been pregnant the last two times I had mine renewed so I just made up weights that I *hoped* to be after losing the pregnancy weight. I haven't gotten there yet but I'm gonna!!!

lol too funny!!

I under-exaggerated (?) my weight on my passport application hoping that by the time I actually <i>travelled</i> I would be closer to that weight.. well... looks like I was right, I'm finally getting there!
