"Hair" I am again!



Recommended Posts

Just a quickie, how do you lose a pound REALLY fast? Have your hair cut off! I did it today, as I was losing so much (although it seems to have slowed down now, thank Goodness!). I am pretty good at cutting my hair (done it for decades), so with my husband's help, we did a blunt-cut, so my new hair growing in can catch up quicker. Sad to see it go, because I like to tie it back when riding the motorcycle, and to quote Amy in Little Women, it is my "one beauty", and I'll miss it, for now! It appears a lot fuller, now, and since summer is coming (although it may not seem like it), the new style will be cooler. My fastest weight-loss day yet!

Totally get you on tying back the hair for a ride. My hair is to my shoulder blades and I'm hoping that I won't have to do a bit chop. I bet it looks cute, and sometimes a drastic change is just what you need for a kickstart.????????<<

I was thinking I might need to go to a slightly larger size helmet, as I'm concerned the snugger fit of my current helmet might pull on my hair a little too much, pulling out more than necessary. Have you had this issue? It's always something!

I actually put my hair up in a cap, net or something usually. This way the helmet doesn't pull on my hair. Not as cute as the ponytail hanging. If I wrap my hair around my head, and shake my head as I pull the helmet off, my hair falls pretty good.

I like the bandana idea, but doesn't it get hot in the summer, when it's really hot out? Went out on the bike today, and I couldn't believe how small my head is minus the hair/head fat(?!!!) I've lost!!! My normal helmet is wayyyyy too loose for safety's sake, so, POOR me, I have to go get another (and it'll be CUTE this time!!!) helmet, and while I'm at it, how about a jacket that will FIT this newer, smaller body?! I THINK SO!!!

Fellow motorcyclists - PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!! God Bless....

I am just starting to look at shorter hairstyles since I am starting to get small handfuls of hair everytime I shower. I never thought about not being able to pull my hair up . Yikes, that will be interesting out on the ATVs and when we are cruising topless in the Jeep. I never thought about my helmet size changing either. Maybe this time I will get a cool helmet that I like. You have to find the positives in the life changes we are going through.

I just got my hair cut last week, just under my chin in a page-boy type, with bangs. Not too bad, and it looks fuller. The best part is that it doesn't get all ratty from the ride. Who knows, I may just keep it this way!! NEVER thought I'd say that!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
