I have mixed feelings about this even though I can see why people like to do it.  I've taken & seen PLENTY of unflattering pics of me & I cringe at the sight!!!  Alison was screwing around with her iPhone camera on Saturday, taking a pic here & there of me ... just random pics as we sat on the sofa watching a movie & I would literally snatch her phone out of her hands & demand her to delete most of those pics.  She would laugh the entire time because she already knows how I am!  I actually wish I was more open to making fun of myself in bad pics but with my self image being a little fragile lately, I couldn't do it.  BUT maybe that will change later when I can be more accepting of myself.  I know I'm a work in progress & I have faith that I will get there to love myself enough to make fun of myself.  Loving ourselves is about loving everything about us ... everything.
