Before and After ...

before / after

Sorry to disappoint, I haven't reached my weight loss goal (not even CLOSE yet) so I'm not posting weight loss before and after pics. You may remember in a past blog I mentioned I was trying to grow my hair ... geez, I'm obsessed with changing my appearance, never happy with myself! Well, I gave up ... growing my hair, that is. I got it almost to "bob" status, growing it over my ears to where it was almost all the same length. But I hated it. It felt heavy, hot, icky ... I coloured it, hoping that would make me feel better ... well, it was a washout (sorry for the pun there). People said I looked "different" with my hair longer ... "you're changing your hair? It's looks really DIFFERENT" (no positive comments followed) ... my hubby told me it was too poofy (the longer my hair was getting, the thicker it got ... surprised the heck out of me, as I always thought I had thin hair ... DEFINITELY not true). I had a friend tell me I looked like I was wearing a wig ... that was the final straw for me. I called my hairstylist and booked the appointment to get it cut off. I am paranoid about my hair ... always have been. So that was it. I tried. Just not happy with it. So this past Tuesday it all came off. I'm back to the short pixie-type cut that I've had for a few years. It's pretty short, a bit shorter than I'd wanted, but it will grow. And it feels so much better. I feel like I've had a weight lifted off my shoulders (literally). As soon as my hairstylist cut it she said "now that's better we can see your pretty face". To which I laughed. To which she said, "you are so pretty, all that hair hid your pretty face, weighed you down ... made you look tired". BINGO. Tired looking. I totally agree. See for yourself ... I'm posting the before (longer hair ... at least long for me, you may think it's still short), and the new cut (back to the short me). Let me know what ya think. I'm planning on keeping it a bit longer than it's at right now in the pic, so I'll post one of those in a couple of weeks when it's a bit longer.

Thanks for reading!
