The selfie photo has become ubiquitous over the last couple of years. I know I'm as guilty as the next person for posting selfies, but I've also found that I've been looking at my selfies recently, I've found that I like what I see.
For the most part, I see a person who's out and about, not making duck faces at the camera in my bathroom. If I look at them chronologically, I see a person who has lost weight over the last couple of years, yet still needs to lose some more. That's a motivating factor. If I don't like what I see, then my job is to fix it, which is what I've been trying to do over the past couple of year. I've been using my Fitbit religiously, making sure I get my 10,000 daily steps. Some days, which are usually few and far between, I'm unsuccessful in that goal, but I'm a work in progress.
I feel I'm in better shape now, so I keep doing it. I hiked over 3 miles yesterday and wasn't even winded when I was done. That's a good thing. My goal is to lose another 15 to 20 pounds. I think if I lose half of that the next year, that will also be a good thing.
In my mind, most selfies seem to be pretty silly. My selfies have a different purpose, at least for me.
