THE picture

I'm sure everyone has taken an unflattering picture of themselves. And I'm sure for some those pictures are a catalyst for change.

I used to love pictures. But now I hate them. The person in those pictures isn't the person I see in the mirror. I don't recognize the fat arms or the double chin. I certainly don't recognize the tire around my waist. And yet, that is me. And it's probably the me that others see.

For me, this is the picture that I hate. And it's the one I embark on this journey to change.
