Take a photo yourself of just your beautiful face if it makes you feel uncomfortable. They cannot force you to have a body shot. :)

hey i no how you feel i had my graduation do the othrday and i didnt want to go. i spent the whole morning crying down the phone to my best friend saying that i wasnt going and she said that if i still didnt feel like it on the actual day then i didnt have to go but i should go coz it only happens once in your life. i went reluctantly coz i didnt want to let her and my family down. it was the hardest day ever! i looked a state my acne was worse than i thought and i hated having my picture taken i kept wrapping my gown round me so no1 could see. anyway the point of telling you this isnt too scare you even more its to say that despite all my fears and worries i was so glad i went. i finally realised that i had achieved something even up until the day i still believed that i had failed but there i was in a gown with my ceryificate and i had made it finally!!! yay me lol. youve done so well to get this far in life and pass your qualification so go and enjoy it people will be so focused on being proud of you and the fact that you have done so well they wont even notice what you look like. but all the same its true they cant force you to do anything you really dont want to do. i hope you really enjoy ur day youve done so well and deserve it x x x

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
