Post-party picture

So this was me today after coming back from a wild and crazy lunch with some very wonderful DSers and their family & friends. First let's look at my hair...wrong on so many levels, I must do something with it and soon. In my defense, however, I did have a lampshade on my head ... don't ask. And then there's my giant head. Since when did I have such a ginormous noggin?!? Good grief. And finally, my clothes. Sigh. I try, I really do, but the clothes thing just escapes me. I do not know how to put it all together and then they are perpetually ill-fitting. I promise you, I bought those shorts like 3-4 weeks ago and and they did fit perfectly. So here I am in all my glory... crazy hair, giant head, poorly fitted clothes BUT despite all this, my friends, I think I kinda look pretty good ... I think this DS thing is working out for me a little bit. :)

OMG Tia - you look amazing! When I think back to your earlier photo's you don't even look like the same person.

Now lets talk about your negative self image. Stop the trash talk. The reason your head looks bigger to you is that your body has shrunk. It's all relative. As for the rest of what you said... you look great. Everytime you feel a negative thought coming I want you to start singing in your head " I feel good... like I knew I would now"... amazing how singing that over and over just lifts the spirits.

You look amazing girl, don't let anyone, including you, tell you otherwise!

You look amazing! I've been following your blog, and I'm pre-op......having the DS soon I hope. I weigh similar to what you weighed, and you give me hope! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks, y'all! I know, I know, I sometimes dwell on the ridiculous, but I am mostly joking. The thing is that it's an interesting journey to redefine who I am in many of my physical characteristics. I go on and on about my hair/head/clothes because I want to change these things and they are another part of me that I have to move forward. I often see them as something about myself that needs to "grow up". I feel the same way about my glasses. They've been something that I've had for years and have been part of my persona and now I have been having thoughts of getting rid of them. I almost feel like I'm going through a second puberty. I've been the "cute fat girl" forever, I don't want to be "cute" and I don't want to be a "girl". I want be womanly and I'm just working my way from here to there.

Besides... the whole giant head things cracks me up and Anne, you are right, I am just not use to see myself in more normal proportions. I am going to work on the negative self talk because I do see myself finally coming to grips with the fact that I look a heckuva lot different than I used to. It's a head trip!

Anon, I wish you the best of luck! I'm sending positive vibes out into the universe for you!

You look terrific. Great outfit, and your head looks proportional to the rest of you, silly goose. ;-) Hope you're feeling better.

Good job!!

Thank you :) Have you thought about micro braids? They might stop the breakage and help your hair grow. Just a idea. :)
