I'm thinking of some drastic changes...

12

Lately, I've been thinking about cutting out my dreadlocks into a Carol Danvers-type mohawk. Like this:

But keeping it pink and platinum. It'll be easier on my head (my dreads are getting so heavy, that they literally rip the hair from my scalp, leaving sores on my head, even after cutting them down to less long and less heavy dreads, I think for the summer, it would just be easier, then I can re-dread them after if I want to. Plus the shorter the hair, the easier my wigs stay on and I can get and wear proper short wigs for characters who need them.

Something like this that will just look like I have a pixie cut that I can spike up into a proper mohawk? Yes or no to question number 1?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part the second: a very drastic change, sort of.

It's not like I have the money to do so, but I'm probably going to raise said money on MFC...

But since I've lost so much weight after being sick for over a month, and it being hard to gain weight again, I have been thinking about getting a boob job. I am not going much bigger, just about a little over a half cup size, but I'm not even sure if I can get plastic surgery with having EDS and all. My last set was before I lost a bunch of weigh very fast and drasically. Most of my bras don't fit right anymore, and I just can't deal with that.

Plus all female superheroes have some boobage.

It will probably take me a year or so to raise the money and research better about my chronic illness and how elective surgeries will work on me, and then there is the whole being put under thing because those of us with EDS have issues with waking up during surgery. A lot of medications metabolize in our bodies too quickly, so I might need a special doctor for that. Plus, I don't want them huge and I'm not too sure if overs or unders would be best for me, and which type of implants since so much has changed since because of my EDS and all that. I'll also have to go to several consults and find the right doctor for me. It will be a long road, so don't worry about me having them by the end of this year... I may go to LA and get them done.

But I will make it clear to everyone who reads this blog, I am doing this for myself and only myself. Maybe I'll feel better about my body image hangups after getting an augmentation? Maybe I won't. I feel like since my body is in a ton of pain all the time anyhow, adding to it shouldn't be too bad.

@sid hopefully last post went through.  It was acting weird.  But it shows on my side of the interwebs.

I like your thinking on both issues because you're basing it on how YOU feel both physically and mentally.  That's the bottom line. I do think the hair change gives you more comfort, plus flexibility for your cosplays  (wigs would seem easier to me when needed for some characters). As for the surgery, I've always supported women doing what they want. My opinion is your health is first priority, and your choice of how you want to look second, with everything else tied for distant last. I'm assuming you've checked into medical/dietary options to regain the lost weight; sorry about the issues you continue to battle with health. If you could get to a point of happiness with the breasts naturally, that's obviously best and less expensive. OBTW, I loved the way you looked in your last set. But I always love the way you look :-)
