I was thinking as I flipped through the Thinspo blog... I see a lot of before and after pictures. Most of them are actually taken by the girl. Meaning, a girl who is overweight takes a picture of herself in a bathing suit, or a bra and panties, or the like, and then after she loses the weight, she takes a new picture in the same outfit and pastes them together, and labels them "before" and "after." I really want to do this. Even if it's just for me to see, so that I can use it to remind myself of my purpose and my goal. The thing is.... I'm too self conscious to do it. I mean, I could always take the "before" picture and save it until I lose the weight, and then post them all here. But the thing is..... I can't even make myself take the picture. I have thought about it, and I just feel like... I don't know. Maybe I will take the pictures, and just save them until I lose a significant amount of weight.
I know that, personally, reading these blogs and seeing real girls post their success is a motivator. I feel like, "Wow, she's not a celeb. If she can do it, I can too!" And I want to be able to make other girls feel that way. I know it's harder to relate to these surreal celebrities... For me it is, anyway. Like, they have money. They can pay for surgery, or personal trainers.... I can't! So I know other girls must feel this way. Maybe I'll just take it a day at a time. :)
