Day Seventy - Who's That Girl?

I have made some progress with my feelings towards my appearance in recent...months? years? days? Well, I have made progress and I guess that is important. One of the biggest things is that I no longer wear makeup everyday. Since I was 14 years old I have worn makeup on a daily basis. Even when I was unemployed I would sit in the house all day with no makeup and then before Joseph got home I would put some on. I guess so that he didn't have to work all day only to see my unsightly visage when he got home.

Well, I've been slowly breaking out of that. It began with me reducing the amount of makeup I wear. Then, I stopped wearing it entirely when I was going to be staying in the house [I used to put on makeup before taking out the rubbish]. About a year ago I stopped wearing makeup when heading to the corner store or the grocery store/Zellers. That was huge for me. Today, though - I really took it too the hoop and I went on the subway wearing no makeup. This has never happened before. This is definitely the scariest thing I've done so far for the blog. I didn't even wear a hat! Surprisingly, it was okay - I didn't even get paranoid that people were staring at me! And then on my way home I was all sweaty and pink, so I really didn't miss the makeup [yes, I used to wear makeup to the gym].

I'm unjustifiably pleased with myself.
