Why do I need a makeover?

After almost 3 years of not being able to work due to some pretty serious medical conditions I have finally gotten the go ahead to start exercising again  as well as gotten the go ahead to go back to work. I have gained 60 pounds since I got sick and I completely lost myself in my illness. My self esteem is shot and my sense of style is lost. I confessed to my husband that I did not like who I was and wanted to change and he has been my biggest supporter in bettering myself but reminds me daily that he fell in love, 14 years ago, with the girl on the inside not the girl on the outside. With his support I have started my journey to find myself again through the wreckage.

While I was sick, I pretty much got rid of all of my clothes. When you are bedridden you really just need pajamas so that is what I have, pajama like clothes. I really did not think I would ever need clothes again. When I did need to dress up, as I started getting better, I actually had to pull out my maternity clothes and wear them. I am ashamed to admit that I wear maternity jeans and dresses because that is all that fits that is not pajama like, and all that we can afford.

Disability does not pay much at all and my husband works 60 hours plus a week to support our family. My husband and my daughter come before me in my eyes so when we have had extra money to buy clothes I have always made sure that they are clothed even if I wear maternity clothes or pajamas! My disabilty will be ending very, very soon and I am scared that I will have to start this new job (when I find it) in maternity clothes or worse, they wont hire me because of my lack of clothing!

So, if you choose me, Oh wise Momversation girls, you will not only be making me over, you will be giving me a second chance at life, some self esteeme, self  confidence and I will finally be able to show my daughter that no matter what happens you can survive and be a better person because of it!

Thank you very much for the opportunity to enter this makeover. Even if I am not picked I will still continue to get my life and myself back!
