Day 6

I have to admit, today I woke up and took a shower and while I was getting dried off I was realizing (once again) how much weight I have put on. This is no way an attempt to fish for compliments. In fact Please do not message me and tell me that I look like I've lost weight or how great I look. We both know you are lying and I honestly don't need the stroking of my ego. Let me clarify that I don't mean for that to sound rude. I love getting messages and I don't even mind ones that tell me I look good but I am very aware that I've put weight on. I'm also aware that laziness and self control are both something I struggle with.
But as I was trying to figure out how to take my self portrait even though I was feeling fat and unattractive I realized that it's not going to change if I don't do something about it. Plus now that I've taken on this challenge I'm actually going to have to be faced with it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Whether I feel fat or thin, ugly or beautiful, sick or healthy, lazy or energetic, happy or depressed, I'm still going to take a picture. So I can either take control of my lazy self and you will get to see the transformation happen over the next year or I can continue the way I am going and you will get to see 365 pictures of me heavier than I want to be. Looks like I have a choice to make...

Here is today's picture. I had a shot in mind but on the way to my parents house, I decided to just play with the camera and the rear view mirror. Problem is - I wear glasses (I am VERY nearsighted) and I am right handed. So in order for this picture to work I have to #1 remove my glasses #2 hold the camera over my left eye and #3 take the picture with one hand held totally awkward as to not be in the picture.

I still think the picture turned out well considering I couldn't see a dang thing through the view finder lol.
