Had headshots taken for work. I was so excited for nice photos of myself, but I was ultimately disappointed in how I looked. Struggling with body image.

I don't have that much to lose, but it's enough to make me feel super self-conscious. I don't look like the image I have of myself in my head. Every time I see a picture, I think, "God, is my face really that round? Is that what I look like in those jeans!?" I was so, so looking forward to getting the pictures back since I figured that a professional shoot would turn out better than blurry shots and baaaad angles taken by my husband. They were very, very well-done, but I was forced to see that I'm still overweight for my short stature.

I'm not really looking for any weight loss tips since I've already started a stricter calorie tracking regimen (that I'm holding myself to for a change). I guess I was just so let down by those photos... I picked one for my company's website and haven't been able to look at them again. It's making be feel blue.

Are there any good resources out there to help boost body confidence? Blogs, videos, whatever. I need a lift from this funk.
