It occurred to me today, whilst pondering my upcoming book, that I might be too fat for photos. Specifically, profile photos the publisher wants to promote my work.

#Also, you should know I do not think this lady in her photo is too fat for photos. In fact, I think she’s beautiful! But I’m going through some stuff around being a published author and putting myself “out there” in print, forever-and-ever in black-and-white, which is scaring me a little… even though I trust all that is to guide my hands thusly.

##Plus, I have so many attempted selfies (it’s insane just how many; as if I’m taking a running commentary on my self-image) that I want to create a wall of photos to show the progression of the toll my “illness” has taken on my bodily form. One day, when I get to it.
