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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 So this is my project, 365 days of Self Portraits…<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week was a bit more difficult for my project.\u00a0 A few more evenings where I found myself at almost 10pm going \u201cOh crap, I don\u2019t have a photo for my 365 project!\u201d then just doing what\u2019s quickest and easiest without really giving it much imagination.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying to come up with some ideas to make it easier and I think the most important are:<\/p>\n

1) Try not to stress it too much and if it turns out to be a crappy quality mobile photo, so be it!<\/p>\n

2) Try to have a camera of some sort with me wherever I go, especially the point and shoot with gorillapod for easy self portraits.<\/p>\n

3) Try to be a little less insecure about taking photos when I\u2019m out and about. I\u2019ve been finding that I do most when I am home because I feel weird when people see me taking photos of myself when I\u2019m out somewhere.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to work on!<\/p>\n

Here are the photos from the last week\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Project<\/a><\/p>\n

Day 33: My weekend with Tina Fey.\u00a0 Hubby was away and I finished her book, \u201cBossypants\u201d, and marathon watched 30 Rock!<\/p>\n

Me at my new gym! It was almost bedtime and had an \u201cOH SHIT!\u201d moment when I realized I didn\u2019t have a photo for the day, but I did have this!\u00a0 So I\u2019ll live with the crappy, low light, mobile quality!<\/p>\n
