I did it! NSV for me! (Potentially some TMI)

So for years and years and years, I have wanted to try to get a Brazilian Bikini Wax.  I don't know why it was important for me to do it, but I really wanted to and I always used my weight as the reason why  I didn't do it.  I didn't want to be "that girl" that everyone talked about after you left the salon...you know, "Why does that girl need a bikini wax? You know she isn't getting any because she's so fat. Why is she having her bikini waxed?" 

But enough about my own self-esteem issues.  I'm about 90 lbs down, with about 16 more to go to my goal and I decided it was time to do it.  Just do it.  So today I did it!

Here was my experience in a nutshell:

The good:  It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.  Yeah, sure any time that they are pulling hair from the roots from your nether regions, it's going to hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought.  The person doing it was very clinical.  She does HUNDREDS of these things and you can tell.  We chit chatted about the weather while she ripped hair from my body.  She was super nice and super professional.  I went to a well-established spa to have it done.  Brazilian Waxes are not a place to skimp. 

The bad:  oh the wax residue.  UGH.  I'm headed to the drug store now to buy some baby oil to help remove the residue.  That truly was the only bad.  Things that shouldn't be sticking together are sticking if you get my meaning. 

Life lesson:  I  think that the waxing session made me realize that people see me as "normal" now.  I'm not the fat person anymore. It's really hard to tell myself that, even though I try and try.  So success to me!  I faced one of my fears and survived.  Yay me!
