In an effort to gain self confidence and deal with body image issues still remaining after my weight loss, I decided to take part in a 365 project focusing on self portraits. My hopes are that after a year of taking a photo of myself ever day, that I will stop hating photos of myself, stop picking apart the things I hate about my body and learn to accept myself in a way that I haven’t been able to before. It is uncomfortable, challenging and at times scary as I am also putting myself out there in a way I never have… but sometimes personal growth requires stepping out of your comfort zone. So this is my project, 365 days of Self Portraits…
Week 7 was a pretty easy week, with a mixture of quick mobile shots and a little bit of imagination. I think this was the start of the turn for me where I went from major discomfort in taking self portraits, and starting to find it a bit fun. It was less of a chore and the enjoyment started making me think a bit more about what I wanted to do each day.
Day 43 – Me and my trusty sidekick, Bailey.
Day 44 – Every time I put this t-shirt on I realize how much I miss Prague. I love that city!
Day 45 – This is what not having to make dinner looks like. Curled up with my e-book while hubby cooks a surprise Valentine’s Day dinner!
Day 46 – Daydreaming
Day 47 – Saturday evening working on a new puzzle. We are such party animals!
Day 48 – Throwback to my childhood… how many of you also used to love to do the crazy chin faces?
Day 49 – Out enjoying the sunshine with my stilts shadow and puppies!
