1. I decided to break up some of my body-negative/dysmorphic craziness by taking a picture of myself lying on my floor with my phone. I resist posting (or even taking) full-body shots and from looking at my body full-on in a mirror (the door where my full-body mirror is I almost always keep shut). So today I’m calling bullshit on myself and learning to appreciate and share all of my body.

2. Yes, that’s sunburn on my chest. Princess Pasty over here (me) gets a burn from even the slightest warmer weather/sun exposure. It’s only kind of funny.

I’ve been crazy stressed this week: I’ve got a pretty awful one-two punch of deadlines coming up. And as always to make everything worse, my body always kicks into all the yucky thoughts and the weird dysmorphia feelings kick in. It was really hard to take this photo yesterday, but I’m pretty glad I did.
