FGG Photo of the Week: Stirring the Pot

If you haven’t been by the FGG Girls Flickr group lately, come check out the growing collection of lovely portraits and self-portraits we’ve got from our awesome readers.

Never been? Need a refresher? Our Flickr group is a gathering spot where women who are overweight are encouraged to post photos of themselves living. And by living we mean anything from cooking to kayaking to wrestling to holding hands on the beach with a lover to enjoying a cup of coffee to raking leaves to hanging out the window of a car on a road trip.

Each week we select one photo from our group to showcase in our photo of the week feature. Each month, we pick one photo from the showcase to win a prize.

So if you haven’t already, add your own photos to our group! Can’t wait to see you there.

A Mid-Week Mini Challenge

Me, on a good day.

We’ve noticed via Twitter and blogs that a few of our readers (and one of our own, who shall remain nameless) are going through the fall doldrums this week, and since it’s hump day and plenty of us are dragging through that, too, we thought we’d post a little challenge to get ya up off that shelf and back into the vibrating hum of things. Define that as you will.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it: go do something bold and out of character. Something badass. Something that pokes your comfort zone. So to speak. Something you’ve wanted to do if only you had the ______.

Decide that you have that, and go.

Then report back here with your story, so the rest of us can be inspired and egged on to go out and do our own thing. You have until tomorrow night, Thursday, at 11:59 pm Pacific to do it and then add your comment here.

Toni and I (like how I volunteer her for stuff without her permission?) will pick the top three winning boldies on Friday, and each winner will receive a mystery prize that’s related in some way to the bold thing you just did. Entries will be judged on:

1. Originality. The less cliche the better.
2. Real boldness. If you’re a plus model and you go have a sexy photo of yourself taken, it doesn’t count. If you’re a serious introvert and you go attend a Toastmasters meeting, it does.
3. Legality. As in, let’s keep it that, please. Even if only just.

Don’t want to participate, but want a prize anyway? Hit “tweet this” below and include @fatgirlsguide in your tweet so we can keep track of it. We’ll pick a wild card Twitter winner by drawing to receive a 4th prize.

3…2…1…

GO FORTH NOW AND BE BOLD.
