Picking a profile picture was rough

I had a really hard time uploading a photo! I really do feel like every time I see a picture of myself I lose a little bit of my soul. I contemplated the few photos that I have of myself along with pictures of my dog, kids, favorite superhero, landscapes, flowers……
I finally landed on this photo for my profile pic for a couple reasons. I really felt cute that day. I bought new workout clothes, gathered my framily and headed for the mountain. I felt really good, and then I saw the pictures.
I am amazed every time I see a picture of myself. The way I feel inside, and see myself in my mind, just does not match at all, not even a little, the way I look from the outside! You think at some point this would cease to amaze me and that I would get used to it, but I don’t.
So this picture will hopefully help me remember why I am doing this. I NEED, not just want but need, the way I see myself in my mind to match what I see when I look at pictures.
The second reason I picked the picture is because of my belly, lol. Oh my gosh, who has a muffin top when they are wearing an elastic waist band…. That is just wrong! That has got to go!

I hear ya!
I have never liked having my picture taken....I am so self conscience especially with the added weight I am carrying. Let's not talk about the muffin top :laugh: ....it is because of having one of my own, it reminds me why I need to keep up with weekly work outs and monitoring my daily eating habits.
So, I commend you on your profile photo, you look great.
Remember why your doing this and don't be so hard on yourself.
Here's to seeing less of you in 2014 0 -
Both of you are braver than I am! :laugh: I have only ever used avatars, such as the one currently in play.0
