Photo Challenge Day 1

Day 1- Self Portrait

Yes. Today's picture is suppose to be a self portrait, and it is of my feet. I took several and I felt very self conscience of my face, but I was wearing very cute shoes. 2 years ago, right before my wedding, I was about 60 lbs smaller than I am now. I have 4 solid months of albums on FB with over 100 photos each most of me just picking up a camera and shooting a photo of my face. I love how I looked and you could tell. That confidence is gone. I don't feel nearly as good about the way I look, but this year I'm redefining my exceptions.
Every year I have a new years resolution to loose weight. Not this year. This year I'm determined to love who I am and how I look no matter what the number on the scale is. I will no longer tie my weight to my self worth. There are baby steps. Today, I didn't love how I looked. The last day of this 30 challenge is another self portrait. My goal is for my face to make an appearance in this one.

“Yes no yes no yes no? 

Red blue? 

Yes red, no blue? 

No red, yes no? 

In out, up down? 

Do don't, can can't? 

Choices sit on the shelf life 

New shoes in a shoe shop. 

If the in crowd are squeezing into a must-have shoe 

And the one pair left are too tiny for you 

Don't feel compelled into choosing them 

If you're really a size 9, buy that size. 

While everyone else 

Hobbles round with sore feet 

Your choices should feel comfortable 

Or they aren't your choices at all. 

Why limp when you can sprint?”
