SELF-PORTRAIT HOW-TO: I kept my portrait simple this week. The face is the most crucial focus point for a portrait and obtaining that goal takes a lot of time and patience. I didn't have a lot of time when I took this photo, so cropping out my face made this photo much easier to achieve. Don't mistake this easy road for cheating. I call it being creative and resourceful. There are no right or wrong answers, just good and bad photos. As long as I stood within a few inches of where I focused my camera, I knew at least part of my body would be in focus. I overexposed the background to give my body a little bit of a glow around the edges.
This week i found it difficult to keep up with my diet. I have been eating literally all the time without ever ridding myself of the need to eat more. I am eating whatever i can, or should i say, whatever sounds good. The nausea has increased slightly, but not to the point where it's debilitating. Landon made this stage much more difficult when i was pregnant with him. This time, I either know how to manage it better after 4 other pregnancies, or this little blueberry is less aggressive. Not any less aggressive with appetite however. It's possible that my constant hunger is keeping the nausea from worsening. I also know that as soon as that feeling creeps up on me, if I eat something, anything, it will subside. And i mean anything. I've been eating cereal, oatmeal, fruit, spaghetti, soup, mac & cheese, even fast food to keep me from feeling hungry, That's all in one day. I will eat all the way until about 9:30 at night and if I wake up halfway through the night I feel that hunger again. I am usually able to ignore it and fall back asleep. But by morning I am really ready to eat! Despite all the food I've ingested, my weight has still not increased. I think my metabolism is in overdrive!
