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\u2019t 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\u2026 but sometimes personal growth requires stepping out of your comfort zone.\u00a0 So this is my project, 365 days of Self Portraits\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Week 14 was my first full week without the me-March challenge from the 365 project<\/a> website, and I\u2019d be lying if I said I didn\u2019t miss it because I really did. I enjoyed coming up with whatever I wanted, but I missed sharing the daily challenge with other people and the hints of what to do each day.\u00a0 Regardless, I got on with it.\u00a0 The ninja photo was really popular among the people on the 365 project, I got a lot of really great feedback on that one!\u00a0 So much so, that I did a follow up a few weeks later, but we\u2019ll get to that!<\/p>\n

Day 93 \u2013 Beauty is for the birds!<\/p>\n

A while back on my project (Day 30) I was discussing aging and wrinkles. In one of the conversations that followed, a friend suggested I get Nivea cream and “gob it on” and let it sit on my face without rubbing it in.<\/p>\n

Today I tried it, and it was not a huge success. I am not someone who can put something on my face and let it sit there. My face tingles and itches, I get it in my eyes, I lick my lips without thinking. It’s not pretty. Not pretty at all.<\/p>\n

Perhaps I am just meant to grow old naturally :P<\/p>\n

Day 94 \u2013 A Girl and Her Camera<\/p>\n

This is a photo I took to test something on my camera before I started shooting for my pic of the day. I had what I thought was a great idea, but after a bazillion photos it turned out to be an epic fail.<\/p>\n

As I went through the photos, I came across this one, and I liked it better than anything I took trying to get the other photo. Go figure!<\/p>\n

I will try for my original thought again someday!<\/p>\n

Day 95 \u2013 Fighting Back!<\/p>\n

Lego is taking over my house, I’ve decided it’s time to fight back! :P<\/p>\n

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

Day 96 \u2013 Spring: Seen but Not Felt!<\/p>\n

You know how mothers often tell their children to be seen and not heard? Pretty sure Mother Nature has decided to change it up a bit and go for seen but not felt. It looks like spring, the sun is shining and the buds are coming out… yet I’m still dressed like it’s December! Shenanigans!<\/p>\n

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

Day 97 \u2013 Chillin\u2019 Like a Villain!<\/p>\n

Pajamas, trashy teen drama (Pretty Little Liars), my heating pad and 365project.org on the laptop. A relaxing Sunday afternoon, not to be disturbed by the setting up of tripods and all the other bits and bobs involved in a proper selfie!<\/p>\n

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

Day 98 \u2013 STATIC!<\/p>\n

One more reason to look forward to summer.. the season of sweaters, also known as… the season of static… will finally come to an end!<\/p>\n

Anyone else feel like they walk around with their hair standing on end all day?<\/p>\n

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

Day 99 – Why, Milka?! Whyyy?!<\/p>\n

Now I remember why I avoid the candy aisle in the supermarket! It’s because I may find things like this! My two favorite things together in one handy package! Things you might call a chunk of delicious, dipped in awesomesauce with a side of YUM!<\/p>\n

Only, it’s too late… I can’t \/ don’t \/ won’t eat things like this now. For me it’s a chunk of temptation, dipped in dangersauce with a possible side of pain (sugar can cause us gastric bypass patients some serious discomfort if we over do it, so I just don’t do it at all… pain is a great deterrent!).<\/p>\n

The new me is grateful to have these obstacles, the old me wonders WHYYY? Why couldn’t this have existed when I could still eat one (or 10)?!<\/p>\n

P.S. Holy smokes I really did get my father’s lips… look at the size of that sucker!<\/p>\n
