Why Photos?
Yeah, I know, the photos are rather terrifying.
Why would I do something as dumb as put photos of my fat body on the internet when I have staunchly refused to take my shirt off on the river or at friends’ pools ever since eighth grade? Am I worried about what people will think? Sure, of course. Heck, in the back of my mind I can catch myself worrying, “Oh no, what if some cool girl stumbles into the blog and sees the photos and gets grossed out??” I’ll admit, that’s pretty terrifying.
The answer is simple enough on my part: public accountability while looking towards a future testimony (that being the whole reason for the blog in the first place). Yeah, I’m fat – I’m obese now, but the photos don’t lie. When I slack off, you’ll see it, but as I progress, you’ll see that, too.
Plus, in the immortal words of Right Said Fred:
I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
And I’m too sexy for Milan, too sexy for Milan
