How I feel about ME

I think we all have days when we just don't feel cute. Well I've been having a few more than what I consider MY share of "those days"!

My skin is crazy, the change of seasons always brings about an extra pimple or two which makes every girl feel oh-so-pretty! My hair, oh dear Lord, my hair, it's so dry that if you stood too close while lighting a match - POOF! Not only that, I feel like I need to color it once a week because the grays are just relentless! I've had gray since I was 16 and finally, the stupid colorless hair has taken front and center on my head. Not cute. At least not at 33! Give me a BREAK!

So I've been going hard in the gym for awhile now and after losing a good amount of weight the scale just stopped moving in the right direction. A couple of days ago I caught a glimpse of myself in Finish Line and thought, Wow, things are coming along! And that helped. Of course I noticed the pimples I'm sporting, and the hair was not the look I was going for, but when all else failed it was a full-length mirror that helped me see that the hard work I'm putting in really is paying off. Needless to say, I'm investing in a full-length mirror especially if it helps improve the way I feel about ME.
