I was at somebody else's big day and many photos were taken. Me and all my chins could be spotted in the crowd, sipping champagne during work hours. Good thing.
So I didn't take any pictures yesterday. Someone else did. Wonderful day with friends in our garden, but the photos make me gasp. God, I'm fat. Something needs to be done. Pronto. And I need a haircut.
Work colleagues came here for a meeting in my garden. Efficient but comfortable. And three poppies suddenly bloomed this morning. I'd like a little more of everything from today, but less of me. I feel (am) fat, but otherwise good.
It could've been a photo of sweaty, aching limbs after an attempt at a bike ride or one of flea market bliss. But the most surprising thing today is that I am busy crocheting.
I blame the blurry bad photo on webcam laziness...
I wanted to show how I wore both polka dots and stripes today and feeling pretty good. Several deleted photos of me being just plain fat later, I feel fatter than when I walked out with the camera. Still pretty good, but feeling ugly.
It is also an experiment in photographic expression, something I don't really master (yet).
And it is a shared adventure.
My friend Ulrika will be posting her self portraits during the same 365 days, and our discussions about the experience is also part of what I hope to get out of this.
