Here Goes The Hair.

Feb 03, 2014

     Over the past few days I have had copius amounts of hair slipping slowly down the drain as I shower.  I was fully aware this day may come.  I was and am totally prepared for it at this time.  That is not to say, if my hair considerably thins, I won't be screaming about the injustice.  At this time, I am actually proud of it happening.  It is another right of passage along this long arduous journey, much like the bad breath, or the saggy saddle bags.  I guess I am doing something right.  Even though I continue to gain and lose the same few pounds, I am doing this.  I am doing it right.  I should be proud.  I continue to see this as such a blessing in my life.  I couldn't say that I regret the desicion that I made a few short months back.  I am only excited about the progress of each new day. I grin each time I push away the half cup of food that I am unable to finish.  I smile as I see each new wrinkle of extra skin.  I giggle over each time my husband and I share a meal at a restaurant and we wind up taking most of it home.  My life has changed as I new it.

     As my life continues to changes so does my body.  I have dropped sizes.  I have gained bat wings that wiggle so much I am afraid I might go air bourne if I wave too hard.  Well, another body change is about to take place.  As I have watched three strands of hair here, ten strands there, fall free from my head, so I have decided it is time to cut my hair.  I have always had my hair past my shoulders.  Even a few years back when I had my hair cut in an A line fashion I kept the front below my shoulders.  I have always believed that being a bigger woman, I needed hair framing my face as it hid the fat, and double chin a little more.  I have always feared short hair, as it left me too "out" in the open.  I have been considering this for a few weeks now.  I had thought that I would wait until closer to my goal weight, but with this new development perhaps the time is now.  I am thinking of taking my hair to chin length, and having it heavily layered.  My thought is that the layers might hide some of the hair loss a little more.  I also believe that it will hide the hair growing back in, when I get there.  I have picked out the style.  The only thing now is to traipse my happy, not so big butt in and get it done.

       Life is about changes, and this journey has surely been that.
