Description
I began a personal art project a couple months ago documenting my weightloss. I keep a journal in which I document my food intake and take self-portraits every week that I add to each journal page. Since beginning February I've now lost 20lbs.I was an absolute stick through highschool and most of college weighing in at a mere average of 110lbs..(and I stand 5'9".)
At some point over the last few years my terrible eating habits and sendentary lifestyle really caught up with me and before I realized it I weighed 150lbs at my highest-ever weight.
I was asked by a friend to photographically document her pregnancy from beginning to end and it was that project that inspired me. I thought it'd be interesting to photograph her as she's getting bigger and me while I'm getting smaller.
And the results are what you see here.

That's really interesting. Funny thing is, you don't seem to lose your breasts, lucky you ! I like the way the light underlines your tummy and how your hair falls on your shoulders
Great work !

congratulations! though you're making me a little jealous I'm having a tough time of it
Got any pointers?
The series itself is beautiful. I like that you used black and white... makes it more classical and elegant, and the progression is very noticable and works with the elegance well ^_^
Again, Congrats ^_^ and Lovely Series

I really liked the composition. Simple, easy to follow... and the black & white is more... powerful? I can't quite think of the right word. (Sleep deprived!) But, I like it!
It's also pretty inspirational. I've kinda settled into a sendentary lifestyle, too, and I've always found it hard to battle eating habits, etc. So, thanks for giving me a little of that "it can be done!" hope, as well as a great piece of art to look at

Congratz, doll! Hopefully I'll catch up soon with my own diet. I'm down two pants sizes and a shirt size so far, but I totally fucked over this weekend because my parents were in town and they wanted to eat out for every meal.
The photos are gorgeous and I love how they're laid out.

That's so great!!
I experienced the same thing with going home last week -
lotsa eating out..
and eating my mom's cooked meals which were pretty fatty as well.

I always imagined you my size, which is 110 and 5'8. So seeing the first photo shocked me a little, just because it slightly contradicted the way I was used to picturing you. But you've always looked fabulous. & I adore your photography style, even if you're just documenting weight loss. & congrats on setting a goal and sticking to it. <2

Yeah, that USED to be me and really, I was too thin.
I have a few more pounds to lose before hitting my goal but I don't intend on going that low.
and you probably pictured me that way because I think I've always carried my weight well -
and I made it difficult to see my few extra pounds in my photos.
Thanks for the lovely comment, doll.
