Before Bald....
« on: December 18, 2012, 12:21:24 PM »
I have seen some comments on various posts of people forgetting what it was like when they had hair, it made me have a look back at some older photos.....made me realise it was the right move in my eyes....

Gee, the hairy (on top) you doesn't look nearly as pleased as the Sly (on top) you.

Think you made the right decision.

Please keep the shiny smooth head. You know it makes sense.

I know I am preaching to the converted but does anyone think it was a bad move for me? The reason I ask is that I have moments of doubt (mainly when people comment on it). I feel more confident with my new look (the majority of the time) but still think about becoming 'one of the crowd' again....

Whoa ... what's that? Some self-doubt?

Let's make this easy.

First, read your first post in this topic (which you started) and then your second post - both from just two days ago. Sounds rather convincing to me.

Second, look back at your posts in August when you were quite uncertain about going Sly ... and once done, it seemed quite brilliant.

Third, look at your "before" and "after" pictures at the top of this thread. To my eye, you look so much better, happier, and content with the smooth finish.

You're just past the four months mark of living Sly. I hope you are nearly at the point where you don't remember what it was like before, and you can't imagine going back.

Do you really want to be just "one of the crowd?"

The net of all this ... you look GREAT!

Thanks Frontier guy, I just have days when I have some self doubt......mainly due to comments. Just need to stay strong and ignore the negative.

One thing I've learned ... and it took lots of lessons and experience (and apparently I am a very slow learner because I keep repeating the class even now): You must believe in and trust yourself. Even if you are surrounded by well-intentioned folks, ultimately you are the one who must look out for yourself.

You look great, and you've come a long way in the last few months. Celebrate your success, and banish the insecurities with the hair!
