Praise from Customs Officer

#1

I recently went to Canada on a business trip. When I handed my passport to the customs officer, she looked at my passport picture, then at me, then back at the picture, and said, “Wow, you have loss a lot of weight since this picture was taken.” (about 80 lbs). Then she ask for other forms of identification. I handed two more picture ID’s to her (both also pre-keto) and she examined them intently looking at me and then at the pictures several times, then finally said, “Okay”,

Weight loss was not my primary objective for starting keto, but it has been good to me. The customs officer made my day. The ultimate praise would have been if she denied entry because I was obviously not the person in the picture.

I had this at the doctors office the other day. I forgot they even had my Id on file. When the receptionist was asking about my insurance, I said “nothings changed.”

She said “well something’s sure changed.”

I didn’t have a clue what she was talking about until she said, “the picture you have on file. You’ve lost a lot of weight.”

Made my day.:grin:

Feels good, doesn’t it?

My passport doesn’t expire for another 8 years so will be awhile before it is updated.

My drivers license expires in December.
But last time it expired, they just reused the old picture. I don’t know if they do that twice.

I’m hoping for a new picture. I HATE my drivers license photo.

That’s awesome!

In our state you can also request a new photo, especially if they aren’t busy.
