    for me taking photos wouldnt motivate me to lose weight, seeing how much i have changed after 6 months would encourage me to continue.

    That reminds me i really should find some photos from before i started losing weight. if i new then that i would lose 30kg i would have taken a lot more photos, topless etc so i can see what has actually changed.

    Cause it happens so gradually i just don't notice.

    If a woman posted something like this, I would think that she was fishing for compliments. Somehow I don't get that from you, but I don't know why.

    You look good to me! I love short, dark hair and green eyes. You have an interesting face and look like you might have something to say about the world.

    Lol probably because I went on a little much about how bad I look? Oh man I didn't even realize how bad I talk to myself. Like I said in the post above, it was a bad time for me.

    Reading all these posts from you guys was totally...not what I expected at all. I only posted the pics in the first place cause I never have before and I thought about how sick I am of hiding how I look so I said "eff it. These people will pretty much confirm how bad I look". I halfway expected a couple posts saying "meh..." And then that's it but all these posts made me realize I have issues I need to work out.

    I'm at work again reading these (probably not the best place to be typing things up. In retrospect) and I've just been thinking about all the years I wasted being hard on myself just because I grew up so hard and didn't let myself think positively. The what ifs are gonna drive me crazy, but I gotta think more to the future than the past right now. I can't just fix the weight. I'll probably get in shape and still be hard on myself until I fix what's on the inside. This chip on my shoulder is getting mighty heavy!

    I am the person who would come right out and say "meh" if that was the case. It is not. I don't see your face as round at all.

    You are only 29--you have lots of living left to do and many more chances to get things right.

    Another vote for handsome!

    Good to see you've realized how hard on yourself you were being.
