NSV- I like some photos!

I have always hated having my photo taken and generally delete them as soon as I see them as they're vile. I've lost 30lb so far and although my clothes are smaller my mirror still tells me I'm huge.

I went out for the day with my boyfriend, he got some pictures of me full length (some by accident in the background of things and some he took covertly on purpose) and I look ok, in fact I look good!

I haven't looked at a photo in years and thought that so this is a MASSIVE deal for me, I will now make sure there are photos of me with my children, something I always avoided before and felt bad about.

Here's to losing the rest of the weight and looking even better!

That's great! I think you should take pictures with your kids anyways. My mom refused to be in photos with us since she has been morbidly obese my whole life. Now that I live in a whole other state than her I looked through photos when I was homesick and realized I only have two of her from time periods I can remember. And one of those was from my wedding where she had to be in the photo. I wish there were more.

Anyways, congrats on all your hard work. It's a great feeling to want to be in pictures. I'm finally starting to not mind them as much either.
