I sincerely believe that God is using my hair loss to connect with others through it and while I genuinely dislike using cliche's, I also genuinely believe that He can bring beauty in the midst of your pain and disappointment, too. Being a woman and dealing with that just sucks sometimes. Thanks for sharing your heart with me and know that you're not alone! It is still hard for me some days, but I continue to have hope. Hang in there. So glad you found me.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849135963653910259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015336086675618978.post-34875373798669766552012-04-28T12:25:14.612-04:002012-04-28T12:25:14.612-04:00Rebecca, I don't hate you - I appreciate your ...Rebecca, I don't hate you - I appreciate your concern, and it's *obvious* it comes from a loving place. Honestly, I *do* have more "weight" (fat) to lose. My waist measurement is still far from the healthy range. I don't think of myself as fat - in fact when I look in the mirror, I'm impressed by what I've been able to accomplish, especially AFTER having three kids. But I know that my health and mobility (especially with my joint problems) will benefit by a little less weight and a little more strength. That being said, I *have* spoken to several people who are very close to me, and told them to keep an eye on me - if they think I'm going over-board, they're under strict instructions to call me out. And I totally agree that a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate isn't going to ruin anything. I can't imagine a life WITHOUT those things. But there's a big difference between a square or two of really good dark chocolate, and an entire bag of Mini Rolos from the dollar store. (Yup. Ate that.) I just need to get a grip on the *emotional* eating, so having one treat doesn't turn into a landslide of crap-consumption.Jachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331481493739009121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015336086675618978.post-28801510335691973562012-04-28T11:24:59.227-04:002012-04-28T11:24:59.227-04:00Please be careful, Jaclyn.

I think it is great that you are exercising and have found a way of healthy eating that works for you, but please don't go overboard. I know that I am easily triggered by things that hint at over-dieting (I just made that term up), but my alarm bells are going off here. Being so strict with yourself is not worth it - I've been there. A glass of wine or piece of chocolate will not ruin your body. Depriving it is not a good long term solution. <br /><br />I hope that this comment doesn't cause you to hate me and ban me forever! It comes from a place of love.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067779171397922495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015336086675618978.post-76248215667846239902012-04-27T09:24:50.454-04:002012-04-27T09:24:50.454-04:00Isn't it funny when those treats taste so bad!...Isn't it funny when those treats taste so bad!? Sometimes they are so not worth the calories or the grief. Usually at church functions... I take one bite of something sweet as a treat and I can instantly tell that was so not worth what it is doing to my body... now Easter chocolate (Good chocolate...) That was worth it!!! Pigging out on a good big dinner on the otherhand... so worth it :)Alexisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015336086675618978.post-8589573626379878492012-04-26T17:15:30.506-04:002012-04-26T17:15:30.506-04:00I know that took a lot of courage to post the phot...I know that took a lot of courage to post the photo of your hair. I wish I knew answers or had suggestions to help you with what I know is an embarrassing situation, mostly, I just hope you can find some answers to help with it. Good luck with reintroducing your Whole 30 plan back into your life, I read every single day you were on it last time and your vibe was very outgoing and positive. :-) Here's to seeing the number you want to see very soon! :-)~TMcGee~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11903588207538484354noreply@blogger.com
