People have even been giving helpful suggestions, like having a tattoo that reminds you of your BFF instead of her name. Names are kind of extreme. Imagine explaining to a new boyfriend who has just gotten your shirt off why there is a name on your belly...kind of kills the mood.

I think your SO is just trying to help, but I'd be irritated too. You don't need anyone's permission to marry him. Did you tell him that you feel that way? Just ask him not to do it.

I say, don't let your parents decide how you'll get married. It's your day to have as you please. Having a separate ceremony for just your parents might help a little, but would you regret it? Would it ruin everything else? Weigh your options.

Is it a response to something? When are you washing your hands? Is it at obvious times, like after using the washroom, or is there something else triggering it?  Is it when you're stressed? If it's a compulsion there might be a problem.

I have OCD and I've been at the point where my hands look like leather. At one point my skin was so dry and tight I dislocated my pinky. Dark times.

You could probably also get some canned vegetables and fruit too, for snacks and for sides for different meals - or even frozen veggies, for that matter. They're not all that expensive and at least you're getting your veggies!

I love wearing heels when I'm skinny. It makes my legs look incredible.

HOWEVER, when I'm overweight heels make me feel like an elephant on stilts. I don't believe heavier people should wear heels...nothing cute about it!

 Well, I don't fully understand why so many women wear them, but I also think that people can and should wear whatever the heck they want.  Regardless of their weight.

I agree. But if you have wide feet, you need to get wide shoes. I'm not sure why but it always bothers me when I see someone in heels that don't fit (too big or too small, each are equally ridiculous looking).

Oops, double post.

Yeah, my parents have always let me express myself. They don't really care what I wear. It's my body and I can show it how I please. They're still tryna get me to wear a dress though.... XP I hate dresses. They're gross. Too girly.. I like black :) Black is my all time fav color :)))

 

I used to wear a lot of black and I tried hard not to be girly. Then all of a sudden I had pink hair and every shirt in my closet is a different colour (most of them vibrant - my favorite is lemon yellow!) I think I spent too long suppressing my inner rainbow, hah!

I also only wear makeup because it's extra colour. I swear it looks like rainbow vomited on me.

Aww I missed the "celebrities I wouldn't kick out of bed" conversation. Those are always my favourite.

You're going to have to change your thinking. 

 I can't. No matter what I do, I can never seem to think I'm pretty..... Most of the time I'm embarrassed to even hang out with my family!!

Time might be the only thing......

Anyways... next subject? Anyone? :)

I've had to work with my therapist to learn self-confidence. I like looking at pictures of myself now, also because I take better care of myself now that I know I'm worth it.

You have to change your thinking to love yourself. Trust me, it's worth it. Make lists of the things you like about yourself. Ask the people you care about to tell you what they like about you. Try to focus on the good. It's not always easy and everyone has their down days.

And don't argue with people when they give you compliments :) Everyone deserves compliments!

Mayhap. But when you try to talk to a man about his hygiene and his excuse for not showering is, "I get caught up doin' stuff and I forget," it's difficult not to hit something. :P

And I bet you like your fiance...*grumbles* LOL, I just need to be a bad mood today, I think.

I like him but if he didn't shower I'd still hit him. Maybe you should have an intervention? If he goes for more than two or three days without a shower, cold bucket of water gets dumped on his head, something like that. Repeat until the message soaks through...hahaha.
