I want to be okay with taking pictures

I had the wonderful opportunity last year to study abroad in Italy. It was an amazing and life changing experience, but when I got home to show my pictures to my family everyone kept asking where I was in the photos and why didn't I take pictures with the sites. It then hit me that I don't like taking pictures. I don't like seeing my weight. Somehow it's different than looking in the mirror. As an avid scrapbooker I love using photos to preserve special memories, but I haven't liked being in the photos for a very long time. I want to be able to be in my own pictures with my husband and not have to feel like it's a big deal. He always tells me I don't have to "prepare" for pictures, but I feel like if my hair isn't right and my make up isn't right then all that will shine through is my weight. My goal is to gain back the confidence to be in my own pictures!! As I prepare to graduate, I feel like I'm running out of time and if I'm going to start I need to start NOW! So, here it goes.
