I chose not to post my "Casual" pictures yesterday. It was because I didn't think they were very flattering so I considered retaking them today. But then I thought more about it and realized that even though I don't think they are as flattering as some, I still don't dislike them!

 

For years, I have hated having my picture taken because of my weight. I would work at getting a good angle, hiding in the back, or just avoiding the camera. Now, I don't hide at all. Sometimes the shot isn't my favorite, but I'm not embarrassed by it. And that makes a HUGE difference.

 

I realized that is quite a big milestone. And now I'm PROUD to post my pictures. I have the full body shots from the beginning, last month and current and the head shots from last month and current.

 

I will NOT HIDE anymore!

    Nor should YOU HIDE! You are gorgeous! And you have come so far, if there were no more weight to be lost, look at what you have accomplished. My lands girl!!!!! Your smile is so positive now and I see confidence just falling off you and in your wordings! The world is your oyster and you are its pearl!!! Remember"God is the Light by which you see the world and yourself. God is the light through which you understand your reason for being. Stay close to his light. His light will enable you to fullfill the purpose for which you were created." Psalm 36:9
