I Feel Pretty

With this disorder, I feel that sometimes we don't always feel as girly as we would like. Thankfully, Pinterest is here to save me from my 'ugly' skin. Everyone says I have gorgeous skin, but honestly without makeup it's quite blotchy and I feel quite hideous without anything on...

www.maskcara.com is a great resource for hair and makeup tips. I used her video on HAC to make my face have that glow that I guess may be the source of the 'you have great skin' compliments I receive. This only took about 10 minutes when all was said and done and I imagine it will take less once I have it down pat. Makeup really can make a world of difference with this disorder and while some girls can get away with not wearing it, it certainly helps me to forget everything else that I see wrong with my body. So today, tomorrow, whenever, turn those negative voices into your head into positive ones and do something to make you feel good about the way you look because despite this disorder, we all have some good bits on us!

On another high note, I removed oatmeal from my diet yesterday and my fingers, toes and stomach are already on their way back to normalcy which is great! I hate having chubby phalanges and belly. I will be 27 in 7 weeks and I'm hoping to be 146lbs by then (a 14lb weight loss). I have signed up for MyFitnessPal (eliaslauren) and plan to track everything I do. Feeling great about everything so far and hoping to continue in a positive direction. Trek on cysters!
