hi,
i also have one to tell....
a year ago, i felt really badly about the hairs to the extent that it affected my self-esteem. but now, a year later, i am happy to say that i am feeling like my old self again.
i think that having gone through those feelings of huge insecurity about my own appearance and knowing that i have hair problems brought about many positive changes in my life. it gave me the opportunity to assess and recognize my worth as a person. at the end of the day, hair or no hair, i am still the same person and i like myself so much more now than ever.
it also made me realize that appearances, like working for a better career, takes work. if you want to look a certain way, it's all within your control - it just takes eating healthily and living a healthy lifestyle. everything is within my control - i just have to be disciplined about it.
now, i can finally see that hairs are really just a cosmetic issue and luckily it can be removed. but the character it helped me build in the process, will stay with me for a lifetime.
i hope that more of the women who surf this board will realize their own sucess stories soon.
