It helps me clear my head, plus that endorphins rush lasts much longer than any buzz from drinking and without the hangover. It makes everything look brighter and more beautiful to me, myself included.

Martial arts is my personal favorite. Realizing that I can kick some ass makes me feel really hot. :)

I'm sorry I haven't checked this in some time!  I'd assumed the thread died off, and when I popped back in to reread some of the advice I saw more was added.  Thank you! 

Thorny-- I'm back, sort of.... but you know how to reach me anyway! 

ranja- *blush*  I love doing that.  I think I'm pretty damn hawt when  I do that... LOL...also, just bought some pretty, pretty pink and black lingerie and ohmygawd... in it, I can't believe myself!  Yay for feeling yummy!

Des, I agree.  I'm spending more time with my friends, and leading a more balanced life but I need to continue to treat myself as worthwhile.  I really made an effort to do those things when I started this thread, but I've sort of slacked off as my life as gotten a little more hectic...once again, putting off what I need for other "life" related ... crap. 

Lucylucy, I agree!  I can't wait to take classes at the Y.  I want to talk yoga and pilates for sure, but maybe a kickboxing class?  I want to step out of my comfort zone a little. ...  :)

Update-

I've started dating once more, and I'm making a concentrated effort to keep myself in check... keep my time filled so that I don't dwell and such.  Life is busy now and the one thing that bothers me is that I'm starting to run out of "me" time.  I really need to do my best to just keep at least one day-one weekend night-- for me.  For whatever I want to do. 

I'm off to bed now, because it seems like I'm not getting enough sleep lately.... but thank you all, once more.

I used to be really self-conscious, and painfully shy, and when I feel like I'm regressing I'll put on some lipstick and take my book to a coffee shop. Some days all I want to wear is a paper bag over my head but I'll get an admiring look or two and it reminds me that other people think I'm pretty. Even if no one notices me, I can remember that I'm wearing loud obnoxious panties (I'm a jeans-and-a-tshirt kinda girl, but under there I like bright colors ) and no one knows. It makes me smile. It's like having a day-glo secret.
And when something makes me feel terrible, I remember one night a couple years ago when some friends and I tried to spray paint a message on a hill overlooking their school. It was dark and we couldn't see anything, kept slipping and falling and losing shoes and stepping on cacti, we were just so tired and frustrated and cranky. When we ran out of paint, we realized that instead of 'CARPE DIEM' we ended up with just 'CARP' and burst out laughing. When something doesn't work out the way I want it to - when it's just a little less than seizing the day haha - I think 'CARP!' and I feel better. Totally random, but I hope it helps.

Status: offline 		I'm glad you're feeling better!  Typically I get girlied up in a cute outfit, grab my best girlfriend, and go out for a wonderful night on the city. Free drinks, constant attention, instant access to the best clubs just for being us, ah yes, it's an instant ego boost!

When I had my last relationship end, which granted was many years ago, I bought lipstick and nail polish.  That way I could buy something to boost me, without focusing on my red teary eyes.  Besides, you can usually pick up several shades fairly cheap.
