Trying to take my own before pics

Elma, Thanks for the encouraging words and support! It has really helped me today. I must say that I did take the pics last night... and yes in the nude... oh my word!!! That part wasn't so hard.. just lining up the camera and the timer and all of that.... then I actually looked at them! and almost What was I thinking?? But actually, this morning I am glad that I did it.. and I am also going to continue every month after surgery. It was almost a wake up call or a HUGE reality check (pun intended!). Do any of you ever start to believe that you are smaller than what you really are? What an eye-opener! Jessica, I never really thought about an official outfit.. that is a GREAT idea. What a frame of reference to have! Happy picture taking!!!! Let me know how your sessions go! Cherise

Im not brave enough to do the nude thing but I am going to strip down to my bra and underwear and I bought a polaroid camera to take them since I wouldnt dare take them to get developed--Im also going to take a before pic in full clothing because my friend bought me one of those side by side frames so I can put my before pic on the left and then my after pic on the right when I am at goal--I cant wait!!!!
