self image

I'm feeling a bit daring. We live in a very society bombarded with images of bodies that most of us don't have. I see every 15th feed another ad for getting my 40-something body to look 20. As a part of my rather mid-aged New Year's resolution, I decided to try to reduce the size of my belly and perhaps build a bit more muscle on top, and this marks my very self-conscious attempt to mark my progress. I, of course, couldn't post without altering the image, which goes to show how uncomfortable I am with posting this. Just add sparkle (frost bokeh, of course).
Society definitely floods us with images of what we're supposed to look like. Bravo for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone!

@fauxtography365 thanks! I kind of recoil a bit even seeing it to post a reply to you :)
