Feeling pretty good

Not a whole ‘lot has been going on for me lately. I’ve been feeling pretty good since my last post. I feel like I’ve been more active, no exercise or diet routine, just overall more active. When I weighed myself this morning it read 192, so there’s been no real change for a while.

I enjoy going for periods of time where I don’t think about all things food and diet related. I try and feel comfortable in my body and pretend I don’t have any issues with it. The hope is that when I don’t fixate maybe I’ll naturally and gradually take a few pounds off, but it never seems to happen.

I got my hair cut two weekends ago and since then people have been asking me if I lost weight. I don’t have a lot of hair and it’s very flat, so just making it shorter shouldn’t look like a big difference. But it does look more styled and I haven’t gone out in public un-showered since the cut. (The showering is mostly because if I don’t, my bed head is to such the extreme, I look like I’m hanging upside down.) I’ve also been wearing more fitted clothes, women’s t-shirts rather than big men’s. Overall just taking a bit more care in my appearance.

When I told my husband about the general response he said “well if you haven’t lost any weight, you’re definitely a sexier plump.” Needless to say, he loves the cut.

I happened to have my camera next to my computer today so I thought I would take some pictures for this post. I have a hard time looking at myself sometimes and it was difficult to find ones that look OK. I’m not in love with these and I couldn’t decide between the flash versions or none flash ones. The lighting makes them look so different. I also feel very goofy taking these kind of pictures.
