@Stella – I got your email 🙂

@Annette – Thanks for jumping in here, yes messages can be sent to me via my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/womenshairlossproject there is a little button that says “Message”

@Nicole – Thank you! Yes bonus… the wigs will stay fresh longer and not need to be washed as frequently. For those that rock the wig in a workout.. that’s awesome and for those that don’t, that’s just awesome too! Hugs back at you!

XOXO

@workoutwig – I tried working out at home, I’m just soooo unmotivated to do so. I do well in group classes where I know I’m held hostage and can’t leave until the class is over 🙂 I’ve heard of women that actually have workout wigs, but I was so frustrated with myself that I just couldn’t do the wig workout thing in any wig, just wasn’t comfortable for me. So alas, I’ll just be silly hair cut thin hair girl at some far away gym where no one knows me anyways. Perfecto.

@Stella – Thank you for your kind words. I’m so glad you’ve found comfort here. The pain of hair loss and what it does to us runs so deep, and hits levels of an emotional turmoil and devastation that many people who aren’t going through this, will never understand, no matter how much they love us and want to understand. It’s THAT unique. It’s not “just hair.” It’s a loss of a part of ourselves. Send me an email with your questions, I’m happy to answer, chances are what you are wondering is what others wonder too so maybe I’ll do a little video answering the questions. I’m here for you and every other woman dealing with this. I want us all to find inner peace and self acceptance and an understanding that perhaps in this life we drew the short hair straw (dammit) but we don’t have live like it’s a curse, we can accept what it is, and perhaps even be better people in life for having faced and conquered this seemingly insurmountable obstacle. There is ALWAYS hope: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151131254345418&set=pb.131292050417.-2207520000.1353273259&type=3&theater

@Gls – Thank you!. Yes he does seem a bit distinguished, those gray hairs show his wisdom, which for him is tThat life really is about just eating and sleeping, ha — there you have it, you heard it here first!

@lina – Yea, I feel ya on the “truck” I’m like shoving myself into my pants, I mean this ain’t no joke girlfriend! I refuse to buy larger pants, so pretty soon, I’ll be walking around in a night shirt LOL – But I’ve put my fat on notice, to stop getting soooo comfortable because I’m sending it packing, and as I type that I’m eating cookies.. but they ARE gluten free. God help me, ha.

I’m glad you are coming to the realization of “F it” I’ll just not wear a wig to workout. Seriously, it took me 6 months but I’m like soo at the point of just being fine looking stupid for an hour a day several days a week. The payoff is way bigger and no one really cares what my hair looks like, they didn’t care it was thinning and I can pretty much bet they care more about their hair than mine 🙂 So let’s get this weight loss / exercise party started! I had day one yesterday, I’ll aim for 3-4 days a week. Probably closer to 3 but I’m feeling ambitious. I mean hello, my jeans are glued to me. Please keep me posted on your progress, I should put a little scale clocker on my sidebar here and you guys can follow my weight loss progress LOL I have crossed my fingers, toes and even eyes for you. Thanks for the hat compliment, I feel like a bank robber in it. The kick in the pants with all of this is I hate the way I look in headbands and hats, oh well. Muah!

@Heidi – YES it is liberating. For sure. I mean, I’m not going to lie, I felt like a toad with a wacky jacked up thinning short boy hair cut, but at the same time It was a moment of relief to be there like a toad with a jacked up thinning short boy hair cut, haaaa haa. Does that make sense? Was just self acceptance, and that always feels good.

@Jill – Thank you!

@Annette – 🙂

Hugs and Love To All!

XOXO
