Don't get me wrong. I don't mind being in pictures. I'm not one of those people who runs away from the camera. Taking pictures is part of life and part of our memory keeping process. Even when I was at my heaviest, I didn't hide from the camera. I didn't run to it, but I didn't run away from it either. I will admit that before I lost my weight the picture Christmas cards were of the kids only. Now, we take family pictures for the card on most years.
Recently, I spoke at a homeschool conference. After I agreed to speak at the conference I was asked for a picture and a biography that could be put on the conference website. "No problem," I thought "I'll just have the kids take a picture of me and email it over." Every day for a week I had my kids and my husband taking pictures of me with our digital camera. We probably took 10- 20 pictures a day and I didn't like any of them. I didn't realize that is would be so hard to take a decent picture. My kids and husband would show me all the ones they liked and I couldn't stand any of them. It's amazing how hard I am on myself when others think I'm just fine......but that's a topic for another blog. Anyway, here is the picture that I finally let on the website. I still think it has a lot to be desired but it was one of the only ones that I would agree to let people see. I thought I would put it here so you could get a good look at how I have changed since the before picture that I posted on my previous post.
