Hair
Those of you who have read this (or the previous) blog know that my hair is thinning on top. Most of the time I pretend it's okay...that I'm okay with it. I am not. I try to pretend that the thin spots are covered if I comb my hair a certain way, or if I use thickening shampoo it helps. It does not. Just in the past couple of weeks I've noticed my hair, well, the hair on top of my head, looking thinner, and I'm wondering if its because of length. Most hair weighs very little, yet when one is dealing with thinness/baldness issues then I guess even an extra ounce has enough pull to cause problems. My hair is now bra strap length and I'm considering cutting it back to shoulder length or even shorter. I mean, my hair looks okay (sort of) when I pull it up into a clip. But I have the feeling I'm doing harm to it by wearing it that way almost every day. So I'm dealing...well, TRYING to deal with the harsh reality that I may never be able to have long hair again. I'm very sad about it. I'm trying NOT to be sad, yet I am. I think I should make an appointment with my stylist and get her opinion. *sigh*
Weighty Matters
I've been "Leading With the Diet" for 5 months now. This way of eating gives me the clarity I need to get through situations like what I described above. Next week The Mister and I are participating in a wellness screening sponsored by the university where I work (free through my insurance) and for the first time in a long time, I am actually looking forward to getting the results. I'm especially eager to compare this year's results (such as weight) with those of my last screening, which happened so long ago that I can't even remember the year. I'll share those numbers here when I get them.
