Lets Talk Weight Loss...

Ahhh Weight Loss, a topic that effects many. If you are at all like me, the word DIET makes you cringe. Well think about it, the first three letters of diet is DIE! And when I go on a diet, that is exactly how I felt!  I had tried just about every known diet out there. And some of them I did good on, only to fall off the wagon and gain it all back. It is and was a life long struggle for me. I have never been 'thin' or even an ideal weight. I have always been classified as obese.  After doing a lot of research, I had finally made the decision that surgery was my best option.

Locks of Love

I did it! After my post yesterday, I realized I am way over due for my Locks 4 love haircut! So I called Look After Hair Co . made my appointment and went in to have my hair cut off for a good cause!

(Sipping some hazelnut coffee right now as I try to think of these 10 things!) My hair really is naturally red.... and curly! (I have it straightened in the picture above). The part you might not know is that about every 18 months I go and get it cut off and donate my hair to locks 4 love. I have been doing this for about 10 years now. (Its about time for me to go do it again) My celebrity crush is Chris Hemsworth as Thor.... (drool) I wanted to be a lawyer when I was a kid.... I still think about it but I'm too old... I play Second Life .... Its like a grown up version of Barbie meets Sims. I'm a content creator and make virtual clothes and
