New do and beginning of the rest of my life (take 500)
So I finally did it, I took the plunge and I'm now a redhead! I was born a redhead and my hair turned blonde when I was younger and gradually started going red again. Even a hint of red when you're a teenager can lead to being picked on so I've given nature a bit of a helping hand in the blonde direction for the last 10 years!
So this is a new start? I feel very different it has to be said and even before I've dyed my hair I've been feeling much more positive about life in general. The little things that I used to stress over don't bother me anymore and I'm certainly far from having a nervous breakdown. I guess sometimes you have to reach breaking point to discover what's important.
I have the beautiful Sydrah's wedding (Sydie is one of my best mates) on the 8th of August and another friend, Sam, has set me the challenge of waving goodbye to the "14's" which have been the bain of my life for so long. Having not weighed myself in a little while and knowing my weight has crept up, I took a deep breath and stepped on the scales...
15st 1lbs
Normally this would be enough to send me into a whirlpool of despair but not this time. I counted to ten and thought to myself that I was daft for letting it creep up but not the end of the world.
I've reset my start weight on here and I'm just going to take things one step at a time. No daft diets. Just good food and plenty of exercise. I was aiming to be out of the 14's for Sydie's wedding but I'm just not sure if I can do it. We shall see.
