Holy Moly, people !!!! Ok, so yesterday my family and I went to a birthday party for a very dear friend, and we had a blast !! However, my dearest, darling girlfriend has out her trusty camera and is happily 'snapping' away....sounds good, right ??? Nooooooo........this was bad....very bad !!! lol
When we got home last night, low and behold those pictures start showing up on FB....
You know....when you're on the "inside" of you, it's very easy to say things like "it's not that bad"...."I don't feel so big", etc....but, when you see it right there in a undeniable color photo......yeah....your 'defense' is gone !!! Seriously, you can't excuse it away...you can't minimalize it....you have no choice but to SEE it. My reaction....not a happy one......as a matter of fact, sometimes those moments can send you spiraling out of control !! I was mortified, disheartened, and generally (and literally) sick to my stomach when I saw these pics.
You just can't NOT deal with it at that point !! (Yeah, they were THAT bad !! lol)
So now, I figure I have one of two options....I can either cave in and allow those images to become the new 'definition' of me, or, I can change it !!! Opting for change !!! I have enough pics like this of myself, and I don't really need any more !! I may use those pics as my "what not to be" photos....to remind me....in the meantime, should this happen to you.....don't cave !!! Don't let it become the way that you see yourself for forever !!! It doesn't have to be that way !!! And, as I had to remind myself...that camera can't capture your heart, and that is where your true beauty lies !!! Although, this one did a really good job of capturing everything else !!! lol
Oh, and by the way.....until I hit my goal weight, I do hereby declare that from this day forward NO camera shall be allowed within 100 miles of me !!!!! LOL
Stay focused, celebrate everything, and have an amazing day !! ;)
xoxo
