On the subject...I wasn't ever afraid of the camera, even heavy, but I in general I have started getting into the photos more because I realized I wasn't in as many since I was the photographer. Then I thought, what if I died and all the pictures are of my kids and husband and they have nothing to remember me by?? Okay, that's dramatic, but it crossed my mind. I started getting more of me and of husband and I in pictures. Having kids who are older and able to take a photo now helps too. :)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777597846226977709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886609594320917604.post-65595916215281686422012-05-03T19:36:27.517-06:002012-05-03T19:36:27.517-06:00I know exactly what you mean.

There have to be more at my parent's house. When you're fat, you avoid the camera at all costs. At least I did. I guess it's because when I was at my heaviest, I had almost given up and resigned myself to always weighing 288. You have a very contagious smile. Every time I see a picture of you smiling into the camera, I smile back even though I know you can't see me:)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402096620723172678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886609594320917604.post-91304062806850918082012-05-03T19:19:38.029-06:002012-05-03T19:19:38.029-06:00I am so proud of you.

I think when the weather gets warmer and I get outside more it will help. I know that is an excuse . . . but at the moment, that's all I've got. At least I'm not putting it back on. You, young lady look great and doesn't it feel better to have more energy and to try on clothes and they actually look and feel amazing. I find that I do not have many fat photos either . . . who wants their photo taken when they are not happy with themselves. Anyway, Bravo!!! I'm joining your followers and checking in from time to time. You are an encouragement. Thank you, Connie :)<br />Please accept my invitation to visit and hopefully to follow my blog, as well.

The unfortunate result is that I stay away from cameras. :) It is interesting getting your perspective on this since you have reached your goal. I am struggling this week but your posts have really helped.
