The Re-invention Of Me.

Hello, you beautiful people.

It's been a few days since I last posted, purely due to the fact that I've had a couple of pretty tough days. I forgot to take my pill and it all kind of went down hill from there. Haha. All is good now though. I used the time to think about the things I was unhappy with, and how I can start to get back to being a generally happy person.
A lot of my issues come from my pants lack of confidence. I'm totally aware that sometimes I can be completely irrational and really hard on myself. Believe me, Liam tells me enough. 

From this point on, I'm going to try and stop being so hard on myself. I'm going to work on the things I always seem to be complaining about, and change the way I feel.

Excuse the posy-ness of these photos. They were taken four years ago after a huge relationship break-up, about six months before I met Liam. 
Weight is a big issue for me, as you already know. Preferably, this is what I'd like to get back to. It's one of those photos that I always look at and start to wonder how I ever got to where I am now. 
Friday Fitday will return next week. If I'm entirely honest, I've not been trying since LFW, and although I've only gained a pound or two since then, I'd rather lose them again. 
One thing I am proud of, is the fact that I haven't eaten red meat for over a month now. :) 
At least I can stick to one thing.

My hair is another thing I've been super self conscious about recently. Being something I'm normally known for, I feel like it's totally nothing special right now. I've ummed and ahhh-ed for days and I can't decide on a trim, a chop to a bob or to get extensions. I think I'm leaning towards the extensions at the moment because I love the photos above. 
I think I want a full fringe cut in too. Miss Lovato has inspired me!

The last thing I need is a revamp of wardrobe. I'm going to work on it til Xmas and hopefully I can finally feel confident in the clothes that I wear. I'm not going to go on about this little issue too much because it's something I seem to post about a lot. 

If you have any suggestions of salons in the Leeds-ish area, shops or websites. Leave me a comment down below. Also, I feel super cheeky, but if you have a brand etc and would like to work with me throughout this journey, then please email me at the address in my sidebar. 
My aim is to be happy with who I am by Xmas and I will make it happen. :)

Have you ever felt the need to re-invent who you are?

    1. That's exactly how I felt the other day. I just wanted to donate all my clothes to a charity shop and go on a huge shopping trip. I guess slow and steady is the only way it's going to get done though. Unless I win the lottery, then I'd go mad!

  4. I'm having one of those moments right now too! I have noticed that when I eat well and look after myself I don't feel as 'down' or un-confident. I haven't really been friday fitday-ing it up either! We both need a kick up the backside! ha ha. I know that will make me feel great! I just don't get why I find it so hard to stick to!

    Love, Rachel
