Photo inspiration

[entreat]

So, I don't have any photos of me when I was a size 12. It was when I started uni & after I slogged it out for months losing weight. Silly me for not taking a photo! I'm on a mission to get back to a size 12 (only 30kg to go...), but I'd like some inspirational photo of someone not completely unlike me to look at. Is that an odd thing to want? I've never had a very good mental body image. Some days I feel like a size 12 & other days I feel like a whole bunch of size 12's strapped together trying to disco.


Anyway, so I conducted a brief google & found this website straight away. Welcome - My Body Gallery - What Real Women Look Like

Although it doesn't have precisely what I'm looking for, it still has some helpful photos for me to look at to try to get my head around what I'll look like as I drop weight. I think I'll put my picture on there as I am now... if I'm ever brave enough to take it off the camera! I find it especially helpful to search for my height because 86kg is going to look really different on my short height compared to someone much taller.

I wanted to share it as 1) other women might find it helpful, and 2) they do need more pictures (black out your face or chop the head off the pic) from every size.

I actually have very few photos of me when I was at my slimest, I actually can only find one, which I have on my pinboard as a reminder. I also have another one where I am slimmer than now & that is it.

Thanks for sharing the link

Thanks, off to check it out now. I'm the same, no photos from 'before' cos I still thought I was fat then. How silly of me

entreat how tall are you?
I have a good one of me as a size 12 at the start of uni and once this baby pops it will be my picture mantra!

Thanks for sharing! That's exactly what I need to help me pick a goal weight.

You'll do awesome.
