in Motivation and Support
I attended a BBQ at the weekend and the pictures have appeared on Facebook today. I feel like I look AWFUL in all of them.

Nothing quite like it for motivation, though... :'(

    I believe we ALL have pictures we don't like ourselves in. Use it as motivation dear. :)

    That's the plan - can't wait to be able to say that's how I used to be! :)

    I hear you. One of my NSV's was to not be mortified to have my picture taken. It took months but I'm finally there. I didn't even have a profile picture here for a long time.

    Everyone looks bad in tagged photos. I've had many awful ones posted on my wall from nights out, I just hide them from my time line.

    Not to be a Debbie Downer here, but losing weight only changes a small part of the feeling you have right now. Even at my best I still hate pictures I get tagged in. This is something we need to work on independent of weight loss.

    Yeah, I agree. It was photos like this from a friend's wedding that triggered my weight loss attempts before. I lost 3st, and found that I still hated pictures of myself, so I know it goes beyond simply losing weight, but I'm working on it all and hope that the combination of my efforts will reap rewards. :)
