in Health and Weight Loss
Take pictures so you can document your weight loss. I didn't, and now that I have lost 34 lbs I wish I had something to show how far I have come. I could use the encouragement. The scale has gone down, I have lost 2 pants sizes but, when I look in the mirror I don't see a big change. I know it is in my head so that is why I wish I had a picture to prove to myself how much I have changed. I did take pics a couple weeks ago so hopefully in a month I will have encouraging pics. If you are like me, and avoid the camera like the plague, trust me when I say you will appreciate having the pic later.

    Ask friend and family members if they took some photos at the last family/holiday gathering. They might be able to pass those on to you. Hey, it's worth an asking. Great job on the weight loss. It's amazing how mush better I feel after a 16lb weight loss. Good Luck to you on your hunt for a picture

    Thanks for the tip! I hate taking "FULL BODY" pics, but I think I will do it just for the reasons you mentioned alone!

    I just did this last week and I definitely regret not doing it at the start of my journey! Oh well, I still have a long way to go and can document that :)
