This sucks. I get it. It's one pound. But my work just put up a hideous photo of me, without asking if they could use that photo and I feel so fat and hopeless and frustrated. I am trying the best I can with what I've got and it's so disheartening to see that. I feel like a fat, ugly lump. I started crying at work about it, especially when people started emailing me about the photo. It's so embarrassing.
I've used photos of myself before as motivation and with all the comments I've been getting about my losing weight (inches, not pounds) I thought I was doing alright. Then I saw the picture and...UGH!!!!
Sorry....I had to rant because I am two seconds away from giving up and hiding in a hole.

My job did the same thing in December. (I was 20 lbs heavier than I am now, and I still have 55 lbs to go!) It was aggravating, embarrassing, and made me want to cry. I complained to management, but it was already out there.
When I got home, my brother gave me a hug, and some very good advice: "Will you care about that picture in two weeks? Probably. In two months? Maybe, maybe not. In two years? You'll have forgotten about it. Being embarrassed lasts for a moment, but you have your body for the rest of your life."
Stick to your plan hon, there will be plenty of good moments to help you forget the embarrassing ones.
And as always, we're here for you. Feel free to rant/yell/vent as much as you like. We all have those days. 😉

I'm up 3 pounds this week, due to indulging from my birthday but your one pound could be extra water weight, you got to give yourself a break. Our bodies fluctuate daily which is perfectly normal. I take terrible pictures and get embarrassed also when someone posts hideous pictures of me. Maybe you can talk to someone about taking it down or at least putting one that you are more comfortable with. Just think if you let this motivate you what people will be saying 3 months, 6 months or even a year from now. Rant, scream, shout and cry all you want on here, we will listen and support you.
