I have a hair cut appointment today.  I love getting my hair cut.  I love my stylist.  And I love the personal attention.  HOWEVER - I just loathe the CAPE!!!  At my salon they sit you in front of a full length mirror, so it's not just the head and shoulders I have to see.  It's the WHOLE thing!!!  Seriously, when they drape that cape over me I just see a big shapeless blob with a small head and I am sure that I look like Jabba the Hut. It's the worst feeling.  And then I also hate the reveal - when they pull the cape off at the end and I see myself and my rolls in all their glory sitting in that chair.  I try so hard just to focus on the hair, but it's impossible.

I'm determined to change that feeling.  While I know that the cape doesn't really look good on anyone, I'm determined to feel better about myself by sticking to this healthy eating/workout plan.  I have lost about 7 pounds this month, but I have a long way to go.  Long term Goal is still about 80 lbs away.  But my short term goal is to lose another 10 before my next hair appointment  - about 5 weeks.  That would be amazing for me and something I can really feel good about.

Weird how its odd things like this that really get to you.
