My wol is almost completely new - with the exception that I have *ALWAYS* done everthing I can to look nice ie, clothes, hair , make up. ( I spent about 12-18 months fat I was always about a size 8-10 prior)

But since Aug. I have begun: nails, pedicures, weight loss - and today... HAIR CUT! I'm nervous but If I can find someone to cut my mop I will. I like this one lady but she may be off on Mnday so I'm going into an appt. only salon and beg for help LOL.

You go! No one else will do it for you and it helps SOOO much! I said that for a reward when I lose 10 lbs (2 more to go) that I'd get a massage. At the 7lb mark I was supposed to get a mani/pedi but haven't yet, even though I met that goal a few days ago. You'll be my inspiratoin to get it done

I know what you mean. It is great to do things for ourselves now.

I spent a long time overweight, but I never cared about how I looked, and wore mens clothes..I even thought for a LONG time that I didn't like the opposite sex. My first come-around was after the first time I went on Atkins and lost weight. I got attention, and I liked it. I started dressing in less baggy clothes, an just slowly morphed into a more feminine woman. I even wore heels this saturday! Until recently I didn't wear bras because they cut into my flesh and made me look even lumpier, so I wore jogging/athletic type tank tops under my clothes. In summer, it was really hot. I actually bought my first bras in YEARS about a week ago. I look like a different person.

Well it's done.

I know how you feel...I have always been in the size 7-10 category..well in the last 2 years, I have gained a fair amount of weight and have stopped taking care of myself the way that I always have.
Well I had a rude awakening when I realized I had two nasty old stretch marks starting on my stomach....that woke my ass right on up.
I am now in a 12 that doesn't look hideous on me...and am working on the 10's...my goal is to get to 150 (that's 25more pounds to go)...and hopefully at that I will be in a lose 10 and a 8 on some days :-)

Congrats to you!!!

That is so great, and best of luck on the haircut!!!!
