How I did it
It made me
heavier 
How I did it: I first became determined to follow through with this. I started eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I started snacking in between my meals... And, most importantly, I started eating healthy! This made all the difference! =}I gained 3 inches along my bust (no longer flat!) and 3 in my hips... None on my waist. Read how I did it…
It made me
darn good 
How I did it: First, I made a design. Being traditional and conservative, I wanted something that would cover my shoulders and in a solid color. I also wanted something that would flatter my body shape (pear). I decided on a simple princess-cut bodice with shoulder cuffs, and a tulle skirt. Obviously, I chose black. After that, I took down my measurements with the undergarments I would be wearing underneath, and started drafting a pattern; YES, I made … Read how I did it…
It made me
sexy
How I did it: I took a short bellydance workshop at a nearby college... At first it was a bit intimidating, being as I've never danced that type of dance before, but it came to me naturally. I would miss the first 30 min of my pointe class, though, to attend to my bellydance class. It was well worth it though! Read how I did it…

6 months is too long to have this kind of pain
4 months ago
I’ve been tested for lymphoma, leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, auto immune disorders, and countless other problems. The doctors don’t know what I have.
I’ve been experiencing muscle pain (started in my leg, became swollen, hurt so bad I couldn’t walk. Then it just stopped…), a rash over area of concentrated muscle pain, dizziness, tingling, numbness, heaviness, light fever, confusion, bad coordination and balance, and upset stomach. But within the past 2 months, I’ve started getting these SEVERE, horrible, stabbing pains throughout my body. It hurts so bad, that it takes my breath away and literally cripples me, no matter what part of me it’s effecting. Sometimes it lasts for seconds but comes right back after a couple of seconds, other times, it lasts for minutes, leaving the affected area numb and almost impossible for me to move.
I’m seeing the head doctor of the clinic on Wed. Maybe he will finally be able to help me.
