NSV with a positive confession.

I feel bad that I haven't been on OH hardly at all in the past month.  My excuse is that I have my new job that requires me to get up at 3:30am and then I don't get home until 2:30pm.  It doesn't leave me much time in the late afternoon and evenings to get all the things I want accomplished let alone get online.  Then during the weekend I want to spend time with my boys and also have more plans now that i'm not embarrassed to go out.  I have been enjoying my new self and am apt to say yes more often when people invite me to things.  It has been a positive experience all around since my surgery.  I went to Minneapolis with a guy friend last weekend and we walked around and looked at art and went to a show at the Ordway.  I got all gussied up and walked with my head held high and didn't have one thought in my head about how I looked.  Instead for once I knew that I looked fine and my mind wasn't consumed the whole time by thoughts of pulling my shirt down to cover my hips or my lack of any self-confidence which in turn allowed me to truly have a good time.  This weekend I had a wedding to go to and went shopping for a cute summery dress to wear.  I almost hit the floor when I tried on a medium and it fit perfectly!  I admit my social life is ever increasing and I don't use the internet to fill that social void from my shyness and wanting to hide anymore.  Here's a pic of a friend of mine and me at the wedding.  I am in a lot of pictures these days.  No more hiding.  :)
