I was slightly offended for a second, because of course I'm trying, why wouldn't I be trying? Hahaha. But then I had to laugh at myself because come on...
I have stinging bleach slathered on my head to lighten my hair; I have hot wax rubbed on my legs, and each hair ripped out (with some accompanying skin); I have uncomfortable plastic trays covered in gross tasting goop shoved in my mouth for a half hour twice a day, to lighten my teeth; I spend exorbitant amounts of money on shadows, powders, glosses, liners, and creams and spend a half hour carefully rubbing them around my face.
Yet I treat my body like crap.
A few minutes ago I was brushing my teeth (so there, Deborah!) and I reached a bit too far, attacked my gag reflex, and threw up (bwa ha ha) and was quickly reminded that all I've had today is a muffin and a half gallon of Diet Coke.
("Then they've got to make that list for you, 'Dude, all I had was a bagel and a grape.' It's always those same kind of things like 'a muffin and a raisin'." -Ted Alexandro)
I spend so much time and energy on the upkeep of my hair, legs, teeth, skin, etc. but I have an amazing ability to rationalize why I can't work out today, and rationalize away why I haven't eaten in twelve hours, but three cups of ice cream sounds perfect right before bed.
One of my SparkPeople tasks is to tell someone about my goals each day. So uh...
* Wake up at 6:30
* Be dressed by 6:45
* Tae Bo or Wisor Pilates until 7:45
* Make bowl of oatmeal by 7:55
* Shower and dress by 8:30
* Leave for work by 8:40
--work 'til 4, get to salon by 4:55, leave salon by 10:00--
* Be home by 11:00
* Treadmill til 11:30
* In bed by Midnight
Lather, rinse, repeat
We'll see how long that lasts, haha.
You gain a greater appreciation for cheekbones and a jawline when you've spent time without them. ;)

Or is it, "I like this cheekbone better than this cheekbone?"
