Migraine, going on 2 days. Allergies out of control. SO TIRED. Broke, all the time. I am having such a bad day, it is all coming down at once. I feel nasty, fat, blubbery, ugly. I hate my thighs, my hair, and the damn braces that I want off NOW. I am 27 years old and have to have a partial denture because of 2 teeth that just never appeared, and I have 2 badly chipped teeth because of it. My hair... ugh, why did I cut it so short in October, and why is it taking so long to grow back out?! I am at that awkward stage that EVERYONE hates when trying to grow their hair back out. And I have no money to get anything done with it. I am trying to wear it up everyday for a while so that I don't have to worry about it, and I think that is adding to my headache. My belt is stuck between 2 holes. I want to get down to that smaller hole, but my motivation has been lacking, and a headache is hard to workout with. AND, I went to bed so early last night, and AM STILL EXHAUSTED. However, I did do 8 minutes of legs this morning, nothing special, but I felt a little burn, and I hope to do another day of level 2 of JM tonight, but can't if the headache is still there. I am a mess. This is a huge ramble, and I am sorry you will never get the time back that it took you to read this. I am going to march my ugly *kitten* to the bathroom right now, to try to adjust my pony tail that keeps falling down because my hair is still a bit too short to be up.... UGH.

    Could you be hormonal at this time? I find that during hormonal time (usually the week before) I hate everything, anyone, and can pick apart anything and food, well food is my only best friend at that time.

    Migraines, are you getting enough water? Could it just be the stress you are putting yourself under through all of your feelings? Are you eating enough? Could you need a chiropractor adjustment?
    Sometimes we feel like life just gets hard, but you know what, its really not, its how we perceive it at that time. Take a deep breath, just relax. Go for a walk, take a hot bath, make a journal for today to vent more feelings out, you may be surprised that your feelings aren't because of all of these things that you are writing about here, maybe its something else.
    If all else fails, find a friend to go for coffee with and just to chat.

    **hugs** the day will get better, just keep your chin up. :)

    Oh Dear, it's going to be one of those days! Take a deep breath, and then take another one. Take the rubber band out of your hair - maybe you could use a hairband to keep it back for a while.

    It seems sometmes things go smoothly - and other days are just days from hell ! Relax and have a cup of tea or s/f hot chocolate before you start the day off. Put on some nice music - music always makes me feel better - be it a soft love song or a get-up-and-go rock and roll song - your choice.

    You're doing great and you will continue to do great. When I feel upset, I grab my notebook and write it out - why I'm upset and what I'm going to do about it. And what I've been able to accomplish. Usually, when I'm done I write over it so no one else can read it - it's like wiping the slate clean.

    Don't worry about taking up our time. These boards are great - I get help from reading them because it makes me realize I'm not alone with my struggles - and if I can help someone else out, well that's an extra bonus and it makes me feel good.

    Hope your day gets better!! You go girl!

    Thank you gals for the kind words.
    So, I did start my period today.. ugh... I guess hormonal may be a good clue huh?
    I can't take my hair down right now as i have nothing else to tie it back with, but I won't be wearing it up tomorrow.
    I went for a walk with my bff at lunch time, and that really helped me to feel a little better. Now I am just trying to get my work done so I can leave a little earlier than normal, and take my baby girl for a walk.
    I have a baby girl... she is beautiful, lovable, adorable, and all mine (well, and her Daddy's too lol)... so I guess I should stop *****ing and be happy. She is my all and means more than any bad day ever could.
    *Breathing*... day is almost done... *Breathing*.... walk with baby girl later.
    Hoping tomorrow will be better.
