Finally Not Afraid To Have My Picture Taken

I've decided to get back out in the dating scene. I am struggling to get to final goal, keeping bouncing up and down a few #, but I will get there soon I'm sure of it.

Anyhow, had a friend at work take some pics of me today and to my amazement I liked almost all of them. The one I didn't like you could see a bit of a pooch in my tummy area despite that I'm wearing a compression shirt in these photos but small price to pay for feeling so much better!

Congratulations! Your hard work has paid off.

Thanks guys. I do dread the time when I have to tell someone about my loose skin and fearing their reaction. I know if they really like you for "you" it shouldn't matter but we all know how that goes in reality. Oh well, it is what it is and I like who I am. Plastics may be an option down the road, but not anytime soon. So they will have to take me as I am.

Looking good! It's gotta feel great to actually WANT your picture to be taken =)

You look fabulous, never need to fear having your picture taken! You've got nothing to worry about:)
