I took a picture of myself when I started, which I have never done before. I have been too scared to I guess. I hate cameras with passion since they have the ability to shove into my face what I refuse to see when I look into a mirror. But then it occurred to me that it could also act as motivation, instead of something to make me hate myself even more. With the picture I would actually see the progress I'm (hopefully) making, since it happens so slow that it's hard to notice in the mirror. Looking at it would also always remind me why I'm doing this, and why it's worth it.
It's not pretty, but it's not something I can't change. I took a purposefully "bad" picture, straight from front without posing, in clothes that don't hide the ugly truth one bit. (No, I would never leave the house in those clothes, but that's beside the point :P)
I don't want to look the way I do, I really don't. Time to work on it.
On a side note, I had lost 0.3kg this morning. So maybe my last night worrying was unnecessary :)
