Favorite Self-Photo (BEDIM 17)

       Day 17, Friday:   A favorite photo of yourself and why    

    This photo was taken last Saturday at the Tim McGraw concerts. My sister was wearing her glasses.... they are super cute and I wanted to try them on. Then, I was chatting with a friend and she took this picture of me.   First of all, I think the glasses look cute. I wore glasses as a child and HATED them. I thought they made me look dorky and ugly. Eventually, my eyesight evened itself out and the doctor said I really didn't need them anymore. I was thrilled. Now, I'm pretty sure that I could use reading glasses.... in fact, Megan's (pictured) are the lowest prescription possible for reading and driving at night and I could see perfectly with them. But, I just liked that I was wearing glasses and I looked cute. A far cry from the ugly glassed duckling.   Second, it sort of shows how I feel when I'm being my best self. She held up the phone and took the picture. On the other side was a cute, quirky, fun girl.... and that is who I ultimately want to be seen as.   Third, my face looks skinny. I'm still fighting to get off the 15 lbs I gained last Fall, so my face looks a little fuller than I'd like. This picture is sort of a "You are doing it.... keep it up!" motivator.
