A friend of mine posted this to her facebook page and it really puts things into perspective.

"So you’re feeling too fat to be photographed . . ." (http://myfriendteresablog.com/so-youre-feeling-too-fat-to-be-photographed/)

I really recommend taking a few minutes and read it. We all have goals, we are all trying our best to reach them, but don't forget that life happens every day - not just when we reach our goals....

    One of the things I listed as a goal here on MFP was to be in pictures with my husband. Sometimes we all need a different perspective (and a swift kick in the hiney!). I LOVED this! Thank you!

    What a great reflection on what we don't leave behind all in the name of vanity. Yikes. Let's go get photographed...

    Here is another wonderful one for women/mothers! If you are sensitive like me it may make you tear up!

    Thanks for posting this! I've been hiding from cameras for a LONG time. One of my goals is to have professional photos taken of my significant other and I next year, but between now and then I really need to stop hiding from people with cameras.
