The biggest thing I regret though is never having those pregnancy photos taken. I was ashamed of how I looked. With my first pregnancy I gained around 60lbs and there was no way I wanted anyone taking my picture. My second I did not gain nearly as much but I had not lost hardly any from my first pregnancy. I see all my friends and family having babies now and taking these amazing photos and I have none of those memories. I honestly can say there is about 4 photos of me when I was pregnant with both my kids, and they were taken without my permission.
When I started my health journey I was coached to take the pictures. I did not take the pictures when I started in February of this year at the gym, however I did start taking weekly photos starting in June on my new program and I am honestly glad I have. Now I am the person that would love to photo bomb your picture you are in because I am not ashamed, and I do not feel like I have to hide behind the camera anymore. I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me, but to have the memories of what I have accomplished means more now than it ever did before.
If you hide behind the camera, try stepping out of your comfort zone and take your picture. Do you feel what you see is as good as it gets, or do you feel that picture could be better? Could you have a brighter smile? More self-confidence? If you are like me you want more. You want the brighter smile, and the self-confidence to go with it.
Don't hide behind the camera anymore!!! Today is the day you can be in front of the camera, I would love to take that step with you and share with you how I got from behind the camera, to wanting my picture taken.
