How I did it
It made me
confident. 
How I did it: Lots and lots of patience. I wasn't comfortable with a TWA. I grew mine out for 6 months cut it a few inches. 4 more months a few more inches and then 2 months and cut the last bit of relaxed hair off. Read how I did it…

Fell off the bandwagon

Back at school and I’ve successfully fallen off the bandwagon. Trying to figure it all out…
Replacement therapy.
4 months ago
I find not fixating on my weight helps me a lot. As a result, I don’t weigh myself. I use changes in by body to mark my progress or lack of. Weight is nothing but a number. Its more important to me to pace myself and make changes that are more permanent. In the past, I’ve focused on making decisions for my weight instead of for my health. I find making choices for your health are easier to implement overall because the choices for my weight were hard to stick to (e.g. crash dieting, working out in unsustainable amounts long term, etc.)
I try not to CHANGE the way I do things, I REPLACE them instead. For example, I used to cut out ice cream all together. Instead of getting rid of ice cream, I replaced it with fat free ice cream or sobet or sherbet.
Replace pudding with sugar free jello or low fat/fat free yogurt.
Make/eat healthier versions of of what you already eat. Don’t force yourself to eat things you don’t like while, trying new ways to make those things appealing to you. For example, like yogurt but I’m not a huge fan but I find that when I eat it with granola I’ll eat it a lot more.
