I never, NEVER do the retail therapy thing. But I have just been feeling so down in the dumps lately... I haven't said *too* much about it specifically on here, because I don't want to sound like a whiner, but I'm finding my rapidly-shrinking body/weight to be really, really depressing. I'm eating, but I'm still getting smaller, and yesterday I was at a point where I cried every time I walked past the mirror in the hall.
So... today I decided I was being silly, and I need to go to the cheapest thrift store in town and buy some clothes that fit me NOW, and just... you know, be good to myself for a change.
Well...
"Be good to myself" turned into a shopping spree at Wal-Mart (ok, so a "spree" for me equals about $40), ranging from shirts to pretty girly underwear to makeup, and then...
...I chopped my hair off.  (Excuse the awful picture; I'm hot and tired and it's really hard to get a good picture of your own hair!)
Ahh. Good day, at least so far. The next time I see my therapist, I'll have to tease her that the acupressure she did on me today relieved my anxiety so much that I was able to spend 3 hours in town spending money! LOL Maybe we should be a little more focused next time...

I went on a shopping spree for myself on my lunch today at Christopher and Banks clothing store! I got three shirts and a vest. $62 worth! I hardly ever do that, but I needed some new shirts. I bought hubby new shirts yesterday, but not nearly $62 worth!
I like your hair! It looks great!

Hey Good Lookin,
What a cute haircut! I'm so glad you had a good day today....you deserve some fun.  <<<<<YAY, WALMART, YAY>>>>> The best therapy ever.

PS: I lost a lot of weight before, too, so I know how you feel. Especially when people have to comment..."my, you have lost a lot of weight" DUH, like I didn't know. I was weighing myself 20 times a day.  I'm finally coming around to my normal weight now. Hope you will soon, too.

You need to be bad more often, Girlfriend!

Yipee! Shopping can lift your mood huh! I need to go out and buy some more clothes that fit the more slender me. I did buy a new pair of jeans that fit well and it makes a huge difference. I need a new bra still though.
Congrats on spoiling yourself~ Nice haircut too!

Oh how cute! You look adorable. I like that picture.
Shopping spree at Walmart?? WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?!? LOL. I live there. I do that like every night. Then I freak when I get the credit card bill.
Last night, however, I got a $100 gift certificate in the mail from my aunt for a house-warming gift for Target! I was so excited. And yes, I spent it the same day I got it. It was so much fun.  Even if we did get hoses and fertilizer, it was fun to pretend to have some money!

Thanks!
The weight thing really is starting to bug me. I got my first "what are you, anorexic?" comment recently, and I seriously wanted to scream. Now I see "anorexic" every time I look in the mirror, even though even the therapist is telling me that I'm not anorexic. Ah well. I'm not even so concerned about gaining weight now, I just want to stop losing. But it'll happen. Probably after I really go crazy and spend a LOT of money on clothes to fit me now!

Cute new pic!
I totally understand about the anorexic comment. I get that a lot, I'm a small person anyway, so I get comments about but the anorexic ones get to me.
And sometimes you just have to do something for yourself to feel better, so whatever works!
