Here's my pic for Day One. I resisted the temptation to change my shirt and put on a bra, to comb my hair or to clean the filthy mirror. I wanted to begin from a place of brutal honesty, and this picture pretty much sums me up right now: sad, unkempt and kind of pitiful.
Stats:
Weight - 181
Mood - anxious
Bathroom - Defcon 3
Hopefully, as the year wears on I'll gradually become thinner and the expression on my face will become happier. Maybe I'll even become less frumpy and more pulled together. And dare I hope that by the arrival of pic #365, by some miracle I'll be sporting a big prego belly?
*Of course, seeing as how this is a totally impulsive project with virtually no forethought or planning behind it, we'll just wait and see how long, or how consistently, I stick with it.

I read an article about a guy who did this for years... personally, I think one year is enough. I'd try it now, but I's rather not watch my wrinkles appear daily. ;-) Thinking of you!
It remains to be seen whether I have enough patience and stick-with-it-ness to do it for ONE year. But I see people all over Flickr who do this every year. I think it will be helpful to me to be able to watch as my body changes, because I think I have some kind of dysmorphia that keeps me from being able see all of my weight when I look in the mirror.
Also hoping that this will give me an incentive to put on a bra and comb my hair every day. And keep my bathroom clean. ;-)
