i realize today that its not just about losing weight...its about taking care of me..
its about taking care of my appearance...my skin, my teeth, my cracked feet...all these have a role to lay in my weight loss journey...when you dont feel good about how you look... then its that much easier to reach for that muffin....cookie...or whatever..
so today, i started to take care of me....the whole me... I will spend the next year just taking care of me....blow drying my hair, taking care of my nails, getting manicures, WAXING on time before the gorilla effect takes affect...hahaha..
i washed my face at night, brushed my teeth, flossed, and used the one min manicure thing....I just loved it...it felt great to take ten mins out of my day and take care of me....
Will i keep it up?? Who knows..but I definately realize that its about th whole me...not just the physical me... I think before its been so easy for me to give up on myself....gain a little weight, forget my hair, my make up, anything.....its not the rigt thing to do...

you are so very right, taking care of us is extremly important and we must do it. Even if its only a few minutes, we have to kindle that inner beauty, that beauty that has nothing to do with a number on a scale, the beauty that we sometimes tend to overlook, thanks for the reminder, I think I will have a nice long hot shower, use all the products I have in the bathroom ( firming soaps, face cleansers, body splash and put on something nice, just for me...and anyone else that may notice me, ha ha) Lets enjoy our womanhood, hang in there, WE CAN DO IT!!!!!. thanks again for the reminder, being fat doesnt mean I am a bad person, just a struggle in life that I need to work on. Take care and keep blogging,I am here for you ... salaams
I'm right there with ya sister!
I love this idea> ALL women should do this. You know I keep saying I will do this, maybe now i will. Just have time for me to do for me. I LOVE IT!!
that's so like one of my recent posts on my blog.. haha.. i decided i was sick of being ugly and needed to fix things..
good luck with your new beauty regimen!
I've been here....and I spent a good three months taking care of me.....RIGIDLY....and it was wonderful. Sure, I slowed down after...but I enjoyed it.
Go check out the contract on Oprah's boot camp....sign it and put it on ur fridge.....it's really well worded....
How about buying a trampoline...those mini ones...OMG they are excellent....it's a weight bearing piece of equipment that doesn't hurt ur knees when exercising....I jumped away 60 lbs on mine....SERIOUSLY!!
It's important to take time out for yourself. If you don't take care of you no one else will and it's hard to care for others when you're feeling down about yourself.
