Day fifty-three...

Alhamdulillah, today turned out to be nice. I was feelin' pretty down this morning but things did get better for me. Haylah put highlights in my hair and that really pepped me up, because I like to look nice. Then we went to a friends for dinner and even though I wasn't too thrilled about going at first I really enjoyed myself. I don't really know why I didn't feel up to it before, just in a slump emotionally I guess. Still, I was happy that I went in the end. The food was great and I prepared myself by only having shakes all day long. That way I didn't feel guilt for enjoying myself. I got dressed, did my new hair and put on make-up. All things that I really didn't know I had the patience to do. It turned out nice though. I felt pretty and that is priceless. Each day brings me closer to being the person I want to be. I've gotta just stay focused and not let my mistakes get me down too much. I can do this, insha'Allah. This is already day 53 and that is amazing!!! I can do it! I can shed this outer shell of a person and reveal the thinner, sexier, prettier, healthier me within!!! So my day ends with a smile... :) And all praise belongs to Allah the One and Only!!!
