Before Photos

Hi Everyone

Just wondering on how you went about getting your before photos? I was thinking about it last night and I think I want to celebrate the changes I am making and might have a boudoir photo shoot done. A big part of me (probably the extra 100 lbs I'm carrying around) is terrified of the prospect of letting someone take photos of me in my undies, but at the exact same time... I don't hate myself. I hate the extra weight, but I don't hate myself. Should I not celebrate that?

Just looking for a little insight and maybe for info on a photographer.

For me- it's all about the after photos! I've had to look at myself overweight since I was 10 yrs old I often cringe at looing back over the years at how I ballooned. I started to take a few candid monthly shots of myself since my weight has decreased and it's amazing to compare those before & afters ths far.

Edmonton Boudoir Phootgraphy 780-278-7022 - they have a facebook group and a couple ladies I know have had them done. They are beautiful pictures  and really will only show what you allow them. Check them out!

My future consists not only of weightloss surgery but I have a list of procedures I want long after my wieght has stabalized . I can't wait to have breasts that don't sage to my belly button and a flatter tummy  LOL
That would be when I'd wanna get some hot shots for my hubby. HAHAH or just something for myself to flaunt my success and how wonderful I feel in my new body.

Love your additude Chance :) You hate the weight but love yourself and that really should be how everyone thinks. I too think this way- I hate the "fat suit" that is covering up the healthier, thinner me trying to change.

Good luck and I hope you get something done that you love!

Hi Chance,


I think that you should do what makes you feel good. Its your journey. Have boudior pics done before and after.

Personaly I love the Idea!! Your should never be ashamed of what your body looks like big or small.
 
Losing weight is to benefit our health more than our looks( even thought it plays a big Part)  Alot of People concentrate on the new smaller size of the clothes they wear but not too many people are talking about how much better their health is...I.E not being diabetic anymore or having sleep apnea or how much our joints hurt, ...etc)

I think its a fabulous Idea!!... I just wi**** didn`t cost so much..LOL   Your Amazing so go ahead and do what makes you feel beautiful on the inside and out. WLS Is an an emotional one as well as a physical one. nurture both!!

Best of luck:)

OMG that is seriously one of the best idea's ever. I only wish I had the self confidence to do it. I can't even stand having my picture taken let alone half nude. Frig there are times my husband doesn't even get a peak at skin..lol..
I too also would love to have boobies where they belong and a flat non hanging belly, i do know that day will come and i'll truly feel content in my own bosy.

Thanks for all the positive support, Ladies.

I have contacted Becky at Just for you photography (jfyphotogrphy.com) and am booking for the day before my assessment. I am going to do the whole thing in a tank top and panties. Just like the dove commericals. I'm really excited.

I used to babysit Becky's neighbours and knew her as a little girl, so it will be interesting to see how it goes with her being a grown up now!

Thanks again for being supportive. I haven't told many people in my life about this journey. It is good to have a place where I can go and talk about it all.

what a great idea chance,,, i sure hope that you did have the photos taken, cuz it is a lovely thing to do for you... let me know if it went well... tammy
