hair hair hair hair... what to do???

I'm having a major hair crisis!!
After almost two years of the same hairdo and color (with little variations in lenght and hue) a week ago I decided I'm done with it.
I've been looking at people's hair on the internet everyday, searching for something that atracts me... This time I'm lost. After considering a bunch of options, I narrowed them down to 3:

1-a mohawk


2-hair extensions and bangs


3-shorter cut and bangs and permanent straightening


While looking for pics I found this really cool site from Clairol where you can upload your ppic and try different hairdos and color! http://www.clairol.com/try-it-on-studio/tios.jsp

I would like to go with the hair extensions and the bangs just because I'm tired of having short hair and would like a real change.
 But the one that tempsts me the most is the rihanna-style-mohawk. I really like that hair!! And maybe I could go with some color too ♥ 

I looooove coloring my hair. After doing real damage to it when in highschool, I got a razor blade and cut off all of my hair. It was really cool, but I was thin. If I do it again I'll look very very very very weird! I did this because I promised "no more hair coloring" so I wouldn't go bald at 40.
Off course, I didn't keep my promise and when my hair was an inch long, I colored it orange! Then blond and red followed, and two years later I decided I was gonna do it again. BUT this time, I WAS gonna keep my promise of no hair coloring. 
Again, it didn't happen at all!
Again, when my hair was an inch long, I colored it bright red. 
Since then it's been a rainbow nonstop in my hair. And haircuts. I get tired of looking at myself in the mirror too easy! 
And now, it's been too long. 2 years? 3 years? OMG... I can't even remember! I did have the blond phase and the red phase in these 2 or 3 years, but IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME HAIRCUUUUT.
Arghh... Saturday I'm going to chop it, make it longer, color it or do whatever they reccomend me. (not really, LOL! I hate doing what people tell me to do)


So this is me. Starting at age 14 or 13 in the first pic, all the way to age 30 in the last pic. Searching for my pics I realized I'm missing about 4 years of memories. (if you'd known me before, you'd think I didn't have memories because of too much partying, not because I can't find the pics!!)
So please notice that between the short red hair w/sunglasses and the blonde hair with sunglasses, there are 4 years of change in there!
 
The purple hair is the same, it's just that I reaaaaaally like it, so I put 2 pics! 
And off course the troll hair, is for a costume party (where I went as a troll). I don't go out dressed like that anymore! LOL

 I love blonde hair, pink hair, purple hair and black hair. I would go with the mohawk and blonde hair on top. 

I won't be able to sleep thinking about my hair cut. After pregnancy, deliver and looking for my son, I need a complete makeover. I'm tired with my weight and hair. 

Let's see what happens on saturday!!  (#fingerscrossed)
wish me luck.

The bag-o-flesh

Dealing with postpartum body is not easy... The few parts of your body you used to like, are suddenly gone, or even worst, are like an empty bag-o-flesh :-(

Your belly is huge, your boobs sag, your ass is huge... Not to mention your arms, thighs, hips, and sometimes face.

As you know, I've been dealing with my weight issue for almost a decade, and now I finally decided to do something about it. I have to say that the chicken soup diet and the hitting and slapping and banging and torturing method have had a positive result, because I've lost about 7 pounds and a few inches.
Although I still have many pounds to go, I do feel better. At least getting dressed in the morning is getting to be fun again.

Today I found the best remedy for not feeling like an empty fat suit. Taking your baby with you when you take a shower has a whole new meaning! Every time you look in the mirror and think that your best assets are gone, look behind you and see why your body is like this now.
Just take a look at your baby in the mirror and remember why you went through all of this!

So this would be the timeline:


 Me at 18


Me at 30 (before pregnancy)


Hahaha... I wish!!! This is more like it



Me at 18


Me at 30 (before pregnancy)


The awful truth!! Present time :S

So that my friends is reality. And as we know, reality bites! Let's just hope I can get to look somewhat like the first pic!!! If I fail, I can always make my hair pink again =D
