My big fat military ID

So this all started about a year and a half ago when I lost my military ID . Without my ID I can't get on base, use the commissary, BX, or pretty much do anything. So naturally I went and got a new ID.
Later I realized that picture was taken only 5 days before I had Austin. I was swollen, chunky, and, well let's just say it isn't the best picture ever. Several times my friends and I have laughed by just looking at it. This all leads up to what happened today.
Since Hunter started school, I have been dropping him off and heading to the gym. At the front desk you have to show them your military ID and sign in. Today the guy checked my ID, then said, "I have to say, you look great compaired to your ID. You should be proud of youself."
HA! All I could say was thanks, then continue on my way. (Is it bad I took the credit? really I didn't do ANYTHING to lose pregnancy weight) While I was working out I literally could not stop laughing.
I think I'm going to "lose" my ID again.
***NOTE: DON'T EVEN ASK ME TO POST THE PICTURE!!!***
