Today, I woke up, ate some cookies and actually got dressed.
I put on a fitted t-shirt, and a white fashion hoodie, and my smooth black jeans. I also brushed my hair, and put on some light make up, mostly around my eyes and lips, with no foundation. And I felt beautiful. I still do. I feel wonderful.
We took Hazel out to her doctor's appointment, yes I went outside! And I liked it, despite it being below zero.
Hazel went to her grandpa's for a while and when Jeff and I got home, we were hugging and talking. I looked down at my stomach as he unzipped my coat, and said, "I'm fat." and smacked my baby belly fat.
He pulled off my coat, and said, "No you are not, you are much more beautiful than when i met you, you look healthy, not anarexic. I like you this way. I love you this way."
And it made me feel so much happier and I felt like some of my sadness was going away.
So...my challenge for you: FIND SOMETHING YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF AND TRY TO TAKE CARE OF IT, AND LET THAT PART OF TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF SPREAD INTO THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND BODY! WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES TO DO THIS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SKINNY TO BE BEAUTIFUL!

Panic Attacks
I wanted to explain why panic attacks are scary, and why they hurt.
When I have a panic attack, my heart starts racing and my body locks up. I breathe really fast, and I get very defensive. I'm often in the state of mind of thinking everyone is trying to steal my daughter or take me to a hospital, or even just wanting to hurt me for fun. I get very nervous and want to take Hazel to the basement and curl up in a blanket and protect her.
The panic attacks hurt because of how tense I get, my muscles get stiff and knotted up because of it. I find it hard to relax, but I have heard exercise is good for anxiety attacks, and that it helps overall with mental health. I'm going to try to exercise more, Jeff and I have already promised to start walking every day that there's nice weather.
I also plan on trying to play tennis again, and ride my bike more often. I've also found that mud masks really help relax me after a long day, and that green tea bubble baths that are warm help loosen my muscles. I'm also trying to figure out a way to help my skin some more because I have stress acne, and its a pet peeve of mine. I don't like my skin that much, but I won't torch it in a tanning bed.
So my challenge for you: FIND A WAY TO RELAX AND START EXERCISING, EVEN IF ITS A FIFTEEN MINUTE JOG! JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT!
