I’ve stopped taking photos of myself with my family and friends, because I hate how I look. I’ve gained 60 lbs since having children, and have lost and found those additional pounds several times over the past 10 years.
I have new thoughts to aspire to, but need help with some bridge work. Ultimately, I want to stop beating myself up for how I look and get out there and have fun!
