So here is the challenge that I was talking about in my last video. Looks like I will be posting for 14 days straight!
Its called the I Love All Of Me Challenge. Here is the link to the FB page for it... https://www.facebook.com/groups/379428962241095/
Major props to the person who came up with this challenge. I think its very fitting for the journey I am currently going through! Here are the challenges:
The Love Yourself Challenge!
-This isn't just for selfies...
It's for self expression!! So get creative and write about the photos you take! Allow yourself to be vulnerable... I think you will all be surprised at the positive response.
Only 2 weeks smile emoticon
Tag friends to challenge them!
STARTING TOMORROW!
The Love Yourself Challenge:
DAY ONE: A photo of you in your natural habitat!
-no makeup, no filter, the clothes you wear around the house... Try to capture a day in the life of you in the most creative way possible!
DAY TWO: A photo or video of you doing something to take care of yourself.
-Be it a hot bath, eating a delicious treat, getting a massage, watching your favorite show, taking a jog... Record yourself doing something for YOURSELF and yourself ONLY!
DAY THREE: A picture of yourself as a child!
- along with your childhood photo post a short letter you wrote to your child self... Encouraging them and telling them how much you love them.
DAY FOUR: A picture or video of you doing or talking about something you're passionate about!
- a certain political/social movement, a hobby, your children... Anything that ignites passion in your soul.
DAY FIVE: Post an artsy selfie of yourself!
-try to post a selfie that captures your mood during day 5...GET CREATIVE!! Doodle on your photo...use word art...play with lighting! Anything!
DAY SIX: A picture with someone who influences you!
- and a short paragraph explaining why!
DAY SEVEN: A picture with a stranger!
(One of the biggest ways we can learn to love ourselves is to learn to love others and vise versa)
-obviously be safe with this one... Take a picture with a friendly stranger you meet in public and write a short a paragraph describing the things you liked about them... If you can't GO OUT and meet a stranger.... Message a person on Facebook that you've never connected with before and write about them!
DAY EIGHT: A picture of your favorite physical attribute!
-what part of your human suit do you enjoy the most!
DAY NINE: A picture of your least favorite physical attribute!
-write a short paragraph explaining why.
(Notice how others respond to your insecurities... You may find that you aren't alone)
DAY TEN: A picture or video showing off a talent or weird quirk you possess.
-anything from singing, dancing, raising one eyebrow, double jointed, playing an instrument, ETC!
DAY ELEVEN: A video or picture pointing out three things who make you confident in who you are.
(nothing about your physical body) -video is better!
DAY TWELVE: A picture tagging someone else on your friends list that you really admire.
-write them a sweet love letter! (Bonus points if it's someone you rarely talk to or hardly know)
DAY THIRTEEN: A picture with something you HAVE to do on the daily that you don't enjoy...
And write down at least one way that you can shift your attitude towards this task.
(Work, cleaning, showering, changing diapers, ETC)

Include a new goal for yourself!

Soooo...Day one!
A photo of you in your natural habitat!
-no makeup, no filter, the clothes you wear around the house... Try to capture a day in the life of you in the most creative way possible!
No make up/no filter. Just chilling in my recliner in my lounge clothes. Not necessary the most "creative" way to capture myself but I did what I could with having to take the picture myself.
Last but not least....I had my one month post op visit today and all went well. No fainting during the blood draw this time. I didn't even get light headed. My doctors were very pleased with my 22 lb weight loss and said generally at this time they are looking for a 5% loss of excess weight and I have had a 10% loss of my excess weight. Yay!
