    'Cause it's no secret I'm fat, and was fatter. I just don't see any shame in it.

    It's kinda like when you run into your neighbor at "Castle Boutique" (if you know what that is) . . . if they see you there, well... now you have something in common!!!

    Although this picture is from 2009, it is one of my favorite pictures of myself. I had just stepped off the bus from Afghanistan and got to see my son on his second birthday. I hadn't seen him or my wife for seven months and I am sure the happiness can be seen on my face.

    However, I am looking to change it soon since I am approaching my goal weight.

    so my friends can recognize me in the feed.
    so i can see my progress change
    to give a giggle now and then
    to express myself as an individual
    to be a pop of color or light
    to remind myself to smile
    to see the small changes each time I put up a new one
    to be easier to recognize

    because im not another faceless statistic with no identity in an ocean of people, 90% of which are doing it wrong and drowning.

    I couldn't say it any better myself.

    I really don't have anything to hide. Also, I think it helps form more personal relationships with the people I connect with.

    I like to put faces to names, and I'm not ashamed of what I look like. I may not be the ripped, thin, underwear model, but that's not who I want to be. So why not show who I am?

    It never occurred to me to NOT post a picture/pictures of myself.

    I don't judge and I don't expect to be judged. When I friend someone on MFP, I like to see who my new friend is, so I offer the same courtsey to anyone who may want to friend me. =)

    because if i tried describing myself without a picture, the world would be in trouble lol

    In all seriousness though, i was fatter then what i am now, I have never been a camera shy person, and one day i'm hoping to look good as i picture it, and besides, what better way to show off achievements and progress then with pictures?

    i'm not tiny, but that picture is me after my first 5k, and i look a lot better then what i did when i was at 243 :)

    I didn't want people to make assumptions on how I look only to be severely disappointed when they did finally see a picture of me. :tongue:

    I don't say anything online that I wouldn't say in person. Even without a picture or your real name, it is possible for people to figure out who belongs to an online identity. Therefore, I am not saying anything with this profile that would get me in trouble. I am more open about certain things, mostly medical conditions, than I normally am, but embarrassment and getting fired are different.

    My photos make me accountable for my body being the way it is and are a constant reminder that I need to keep going
