If I thought posting my weight yesterday was scary, than it is nothing compared to thought of posting my fat pictures online. I tried to talk myself out of it this morning, but I realized that if I want to do this then I know I need to be all in. I'm hopeful that as I look back at these pictures that it inspires me to continue to battle for a healthy body and more mindful me.
When it comes to pictures, one goal I have at the end of this journey is to be able to have a filter free life. For years now, I have just been taking selfies and covering up by using all the fun Snap-chat and Facebook filters. Enough is enough! I don't want to have to keep dangling the camera above my head for skinny shots of my face while my kids try to squeeze into the shot. I'm ready for family pictures where I also don't feel like I have to hide behind my husband or children. I'm tired of not letting others take pictures of my family because I know there is no skinny angle when it comes to a full body shot. God has given me a beautiful body and there is more to me than just my face.
I know it might also seem a little vain by me wanting to look good in front of a camera, but I don't want to shy away anymore. I want to be proud of my WHOLE body. In a couple months, I would love for my legs to be my favorite feature and mostly because I had a part in sculpting them (move over feet and hands). Reading about other peoples weight loss stories have encouraged me and help me realize that this is possible and now I am ready to have my own story. I can't wait for my after pictures!
