Owning it!




 
 
Dear Diary....
 
 
I have noticed that since I have been focusing on eating better and trying to lose weight that I am starting to own my weight. I wonder if others do that, or know what I am talking about.
 
I am the type of person that tries to avoid the mirror, especially a full length mirror, now  I want to look, I want to notice everything so I can start noticing the changes. I have come to terms with the fact that I am overweight,  its not okay with me but I am going to be making changes. I have started making changes.
 
I think for me that something very positive to acknowledge all things I don't like about myself and share it, It keeps me grounded and focused on what I need to do.
 
One of the things I have done to "own it" is I have decided to get my hair cut too, I have worn my hair short on and off for years, but I have always tried to not go to short or still have some long hair around my face a bit to take away from how big it is. I have missed out on so many haircuts that I have wanted because of that fact, not anymore!
 
So I am going to own my weight, own me, be accountable for my actions now, in the past and in the future so I can become a better and healthier me!

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

I absolutely love these! I love decorating for Halloween, I have to say it is my favorite holiday. I don't think you can have enough decorations up! So when I found this DIY project I just had to share!   DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts     You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape).     Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue.
