I Never Thought

that it would be this hard














to post photos of myself


















but, here they are!

I guess I just don't see myself as large as I am. But when I look at these photos I can't deny the fact that I have a big problem. That is why I stray from being in photos. I just do not want to admit it. But, now here it is for the world to see! This is me.

Starting point: 150 pounds to lose
Pounds lost: 0 (my weigh-ins will be on Mondays)

I'm like that too. I have no clue how fat I am until I look at photos. It's like I'm a whole other person. But you know what, I think that just means that we have high self esteems! Keep that up!

I am so proud of you for doing this. Taking these pictures will be a great reminder for you down the road of how hard you worked. This shows how extremely committed you are to changing your life and health. Keep it up! I am here for you!

Ashley, I think you are right! Self esteem is so important.

oh my gosh, i am SO glad i found you. I am exactly the SAME way. I hide from cameras. I hid from photos.
(go figure - i'm an avid photographer and known to record friends & family through the years but keep myself out of the memories.)

and when i saw your pics i thought: wow. I don't see her face but her body looks like mine. And i understand not really getting how big we are until we see the pic... TOTALLY get that.
i'm so glad i found you. i have yet to read through the rest of your blog but ... wow wow wow. FOLLOWING YA!
