Stop trying to be a model

Weight loss photos aren’t meant ot make you a model so stop trying to pose. Just stand there in a relaxed position and snap your pic!

That’s actually very good advice. Instead of trying to look fabulous, try to look honest in your picture. It will give you better tracking. Leave the poses for when you’re taking pictures you’ll actually want to share.

I recently visited another forum that had a similar discussion going except that one of the people there gave the advice that you should just go ahead and make a goofy face. That stops you from wanting to try to look perfect every time and lets you just look at how much weight you lost instead of how much you look like you are attending the Oscars or something.

I think that it's a great idea not to take yourself too seriously when you're taking weight loss photos. That's a good way to stop judging yourself and to just start keeping a record of hwo much you can see the weight that is comign off you.

I think that's a very good attitude and it will be a lot more motivational for you than it would be if you were just going to beat yourself up over your pictures every week or every month.

Thanks for sharing!
