Should I skip December for weight progress pictures?

[Whirlybird]

I've been taking monthly weight management tracking pictures. They're not very good but I've been keeping them just for me for my reference in case they end up helping. Thing is, I always gain weight in December. Should I skip that month's picture or should I just do it anyway? I don't know if it'll hurt my motivation or just keep up my record honestly.

That's up to you. Will it motivate you or just frustrate you?

I agree! Gauge how you feel and embrace that

I skip everything like that in December. To me, December doesn't count. why punish myself over it when I know for sure the results won't be on track?

Thanks for the advice. I started trying it but it was making me feel like I was putting a lot of effort and care into nothing, so I'm putting it on pause. I think I knew that was probably right but needed "permission" from other people.
