I love making photo books. I enjoy creating a design and bringing back memories of a wonderful and exciting time. The creation process appeals to me on so many different levels--I use my creativity and design skills, my imagination, as well as my organizational abilities. It’s extremely satisfying to hold the finished products in my hands.
I am starting to work on a book for myself. It isn’t exactly a photo book--or at least not only a photo book. I am including some of my favorite family photos, as well as pics of my collages and even some beautiful photos of nature. I am also going to include my favorite quotes, affirmations, and meditations. What really makes this book special for me is that it will also be a kind of weight loss bible for me. I plan to include a nutrition section with information for each post-op phase; a section to keep track of my monthly weight and measurements; reminders/affirmations of why I am taking this difficult journey; and a list of things to do instead of eating--a list to defeat cravings and boredom.
I am totally excited about creating this book. I have been worried that I don’t have much I can do right now. My surgery is planned and financed. I have nothing to do now but wait until I can start my pre-op diet. This book will be my personal guide through it all. I will keep you posted!
In the meantime, I'm pretty sure this will be my cover:
