I have always felt self conscious about having my photo taken. Primarily because I have HATED the way that I look in the photos. I have been chubby my entire life. I look back on photos of me when I was a kid and yep, the chubby one of the bunch, that's me. However I would KILL to be the weight I was in high school. When I look at the photos (the few I actually have from that time period) I think, OMG how did I think I was fat then?! Granted I was overweight, but nothing like I am today. The good thing about it, I have the pictures to look at. But over the last 10 years I don't have very many photos of me at all. Which makes me sad on one hand because what will my kids have when I am gone? I want to get past this feeling of "ICK" every time a camera comes out. A friend of mine posted this article on Facebook this last week and it really hit home with me. Take a minute and read it; especially if you are always avoiding the camera.
Enjoy!
