    Awesome post. I know a lot of us are in this boat, myself included, however I'm taking pictures to document everything so I see my progress. I'm no longer camera shy, but now use it as a tool to help me. :-)

    I used to systematically pick out every photo of me and destroy it back when we sent pictures out to be developed. Then my daughter caught me. The lecture I got was even better than the above read.

    (I still delete pictures of me, but not all of them.)

    Fantastic post. I see myself in this story. No photographs and keeping myself hidden from the public. God forbid I go to the store and see somebody I used to know before I got this fat. What an eye opener. Thanks!

    Just wanted to clarify I didn't write the post, only shared. It really touched home with me, and I was sure it would with others.

    The article brought tears to my eyes, especially this:

    "Do you know what my mom sees when she looks at this picture? Her beautiful family all together.
    Do you know what my husband sees? The family he gained the moment he met me (and how much he looks like my dad…)
    Do you know what my dad sees? The happy family he has worked for every day of his life.
    Do you know what my brother sees? That he got away with wearing shorts… :)"

    I can't stop crying. What a wonderful, insightful post! It is so true that it often takes a life threatening experience for us to get back to what is really important in our lives. I wish everyone who carries some extra weight could read this!!

    I don't get encouraged about losing weight because it's just a setup for disappointment

    However, the curmudgeon (me) is now encouraged. :grumble:

    I think I take too many pictures, just never of my whole body. I love having family photos to look back on :)

    (Esp. When I can trick the camera into making me look skinnier than I am :wink: )

    Great post, I have always avoided group photos because there was no guarantee of a good shot, until about three years ago anyway when I realized I have a lot of great pics of my friends together, but none of them with me. I accepted I do not always have to have that one angle where I look the way I want to, I'd rather have the memories with my friends.
