Hi Everyone........
I cannot tell you what a relief it is knowing that I am not alone in this "prison of ho hums". I up till my daughter was born, use to run computer opeations at a major company, go bowling, dancing on the weekends...and just looking down right fabulous!
But just as a book has chapters, so do our lives. I til my daughter, was a full time worker & part time mom......now full time mom and part time...... (blank page).
From having 3 children & single to 6 children, a husband, an ailing mom with alzheimers disease and pets! So at first who had time to look good.
I am now 50 pounds heavier........a combo of being smoke free of 6 years after 25 years of huffing & puffing
(yeah...and no regrets) a hypothyroid(which runs in my family), and no major activity that consists of sweating. So years of putting myself at the bottom of the "food chain" I to had become the "look what the cat dragged in".....
I every so often I do wear make up,(very rusty at that) I try and keep on top of the the root situation(grey ones)
and when I do, that is usually when I find mysef dressing up a bit more.
As much as I loved my long over bleached hair, I did treat myself to a salon hair pamper day....and that did wonders! (just to costly to do all the time) I cut off 2 feet of hair which was always tied in a scrunchie, and doing it again I must confess, but the point is...........it is the little changes that start the domino affect of big changes.
I cannot change the way I look weight wise because of my health, but I can improvise. I after years of wearing glasses went to the eye doctor (over due some what) and ordered my 1st pair of contact lenses. I decided it was time to show my face again, and my pretty brown eyes that did hide behind bifocals.......Every woman is a beautiful woman........you just need to first accept who you are, then work around it!
Body glitter .....works like a chain reaction. Start with a little glitter and next thing you know, the make-up, the hair.....etc. Works for me all the time.....just use caution with the sweet smelling kinds, or you'll have more than your man buzzing around you
(i hate bees!)
As for the T-shirt & stretchy pants....who says Hooters are the only ones allowed to wear their T's that way!
"Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing
up children. Now I have six children and no theories."
Regards Always
Cindy
