MoonGoddess: I was/am honest! (about the compliments!) Plus you and I obviously shop for similar "negligée"s (sp? love that word though!) That's how I started treating myself as I (learnt) to feel more confident in my
body: new underwears and nighties, slips... I even bought a garter-belt (sp???? eek)... I also got a tattoo and a belly button piercing. Slightly silly: no one but me, my mom & my roommate/best friend have seen it (they had to be my "slap me if I faint" buddies), but I like "feeling" like I can...! I figured there were way too many items on my list of "things I will do when I get to
goal" for it to be remotely funny! So I decided to start treating myself straight away!!!
I smiled when I read your comment on the PC, eat, PC, etc.! I use to walk and walk and walk (when I use to live in NY - no one looked at me and I had my headphones blasting their music to my ears... here people stare more, which is okay/cultural, but keeps me from enjoying my walk).
Oh my, if it could go away like POOF, that would be incredible!
