Now I ask for my photo to be taken. Glad to be in a better place and be present.
What works
1. Being photographed
What didn't work
1. Deleting photos and thinking I could hide.
It's so worth the work. No processed sugar, no grains, lots of life in living. To be present in life. Onward.
Oh Karen, we are absolutely identical in this. Totally and completely.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
I feel exactly the same way. I love having my picture taken now!
ReplyDeleteI still don't like the camera, but I don't delete pictures anymore unless they are fuzzy or the expression on my face is completely idiotic. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have many "before" photos ... I would delete them too. I still struggle, even though I've lost (not to goal yet, but getting close) I still don't feel like pictures capture what I see in the mirror. I just don't feel photogenic. I'm actually in the process of writing a post on this topic for tomorrow (just tips on how to present better in pictures, hopefully I can incorporate them into my own life!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gwen, Debbi, and Caron. Jen B, I still struggle to this day with some photos. I have a lot of loose skin, so some photos look like I still may be 20-30 pounds overweight. Sometimes, the compression factor of the clothes or the style make a difference too. Good luck, it does take time for the mind to get caught up to the new body. I get what you are saying about the photos and the mirror.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm with you I've always loved being around tide pools.....
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
