Yesterday I was cleaning out my closet and found a pair of size 20 capris I wore in May of 2010 to my husband's graduation. I was amazed how far I had come. Then today, when I posted some recent pics of our vacation on facebook, a friend commented on how much weight I post and how good I looked. (I'm wearing size 12 capris in the picture)
It had been a full year and I wanted to post a before and after pic so far (I'm not at goal yet) on this site, since this site has been such a big part in my journey. However, the honest truth is that I don't want my picture on a weight loss website. WT Heck? It sounds weird, but I've always been very private about weightloss and only my husband knows I go on this site. I feel like I want to maintain my anonymity, which is silly since I talk about specific details at times, but I never really give info like my name or my real picture.
Does anyone else feel like this? Would it be silly to cover up my face in the pics then post them? I know this is paranoid, but I do devulge some very personal feelings on here, and I always worry that like a patient of mine is a member of this site and will see the pictures, and be like "I know her!" lol, anyone that is a friend of mine, has seen these photos and covering up my face won't matter because they'll recognize the photo. Its more people I'm not close to, and not facebook friends with. Aquaintences that, you never know, might be here.
Anyone else feel this way?
