Ready to stop hiding..........?

:blushing: Would just like to share with my friends on here.

I have had the same hair style and clothes choices for years. For many years I have used my hair to hide behind. Recently I fancied a change and felt more confident due to weight loss.

Last night I had my hair cut really short. Lots of people have said it looks good - I'm not used to it yet so am a bit unsure!! BUT I can't hide anymore and this is a huge achievement for me!!

It may seem small - but I felt the need to share with people in a similar situation. Hopefully soon I will also be able to ditch the baggier clothes and hold my head higher than ever.

Good luck to all of you too - we can do this together!!!

I've been guilty of hiding behind long hair in the past, so I know what you mean. Well done for getting it cut! And well done on your amazing loss so far! Will you be updating your profile pic so we can see the new you?

Cutting your hair really really short can be really really liberating!

I started making the motions of cutting my hair off in 2007 when I went from butt length hair to just below my shoulders, in 2008 my hair had grown down to my bum again and i cut it all off in a short bob... I found having it short i HAD to do something with it, so I went out in the world with more confidence because i felt more put together. I couldn't just wind it up in a pony tail or bun and be all ok let's go!

I know that exact thing! After I lost weight a few years ago I went to a hair salon and had a short bob cut...this was a huge step as it was far down my back before. I also stopped buying clothes that were a size too big for me!

Well done on your strength in taking this step. It's a great sign that your confidence is increasing and that you feel good in yourself. Thanks for sharing your diary as well. I hope you have found that useful. :flowerforyou:

I'll see what I can do - but there aren't many (if any) photos of me at my biggest - I have always hidden from cameras!
