in Chit-Chat
I'm curious how people choose their primary photos. I suppose these can be important even powerful statements about ourselves or completely insignificant.

Can you explain your motivation for picking your photo?

    This one looks the most like me. I'm not hiding behind my sunglasses or motorcycle. Plus, I like the way the sunlight brings out the little glod flecks in my eyes.

    1. strong women are great
    2. neanderthal women were probably the strongest women ever
    3. I'm a palaeoanthropology nerd
    4. the caption was originally because I'm sick to death of the implication that women are supposed to aspire to be weak and feeble and the whole don't do anything strenuous or your uterus will fall out kind of thing, but I'm bored of it but have been too lazy to actually change it

    Mine's an action shot. I don't "look pretty" so there's no point in a duck-faced selfie shot; I wanted to have a picture showing that I am capable and awesome, shows off my interests, and also it's punny.

    Mines is because I used to be the size of a house and now I'm not and spend years hiding in black and baggy clothes! Now I flaunt it because I've worked my *kitten* off to achieve it and I'm damn proud!! :bigsmile:

    Ps ... Love this thread!!!

    Because I have a coffee addiction :drinker: and my friends and family pick on me about my putting entire 10 man raids:drinker: (girl gamer) on hold so that I can get more coffee:drinker:.

    Also can't function in the mornings without at least 2 or 3 cups of joe.

    Because my Mom has cancer and lost her hair so I purposely lost mine (My husband shaved it) in support of her. I had to keep the tail for two reasons. To remember how long it was. And because I had one in HS so I thought it might make me feel young again....Nah didn't work >(

    A while back there was a thread where MFP members created their own fitspo. This one was mine. It's a flattering picture and it reminds me how far I've come, even on bad days.

    It's my favorite picture of me and my husband. We were at this awesome venue watching a bunch of bands with great friends. Plus this is before I lost my weight and I think I look pretty good. haha

    I liked it. And it was taken on a nice sunny beach day, which is nice to remember in the snowiest December I've been here.
