I love the feeling! I find myself feeling them while I'm doing something. Their so freeing, I just wake up and shake my hair around. I also love all the weird looks i get when I go out, I thought I would hate it, but its actually pretty fun.
Water Fast
Dreads and Diets
I'm planning on doing a 14 day water/juice fast. Depending on how I'm feeling after the 14 days I may try to go to 30. I want a complete lifestyle change. I'm tired of having cravings for fast food and other junk, that isn't good for me. My family also has a history of heart failure, and obesity. My question is, has anyone else done it? What can I expect (other than hunger)?

Which method is best?
Dreading Methods
I've been wanting dreads for over a year, and I finally decided to start doing it. I'm just not sure which method would work for my hair type. My hair is really fine, and sorta thin. I want to go as natural as possible, but i wanted to do backcombing or twist and rip, just to give them some structure to start out with. I also had a question about my shampoo. I use Garnier Pure Clean, is it an okay shampoo to use, or should I get something better? Thanks in advance for any help.

Dirty looks and negativity
General Questions
Whenever I see someone giving me an odd look, I just smile and say hi. Sometimes people don't realize that I can see the looks they give me, but it doesn't bother me. I don't live to please everyone.

Yeah, that would work, I don't want to get too off topic in this thread. Lol.I used to crochet, but stopped because my friends made fun of me. But I'm thinking about starting it again. I've always wanted to learn how to sew. The closest I ever came to sweing was in 7th grade when we made pillows. Lol.

How exactly would I be boring? And hes not a good role model for the boys, which is another reason I want him gone. He's kind of mean to them, he calls our younger son fat all the time, and he completely ignores our older son. As soon as he walks in the door he's totally focused on me. Or, he'll yell at our 2 year old about having a bink. And when I say something to him about shouting over something stupid he jumps on how I'm a bad parent because I don't discipline the boys (I do gentle discipline, I don't spank them.) My mom is noticing his crap too. A couple months ago she discreetly left a phamphlet on emotional abuse in one of my books. There was one time I called him out on it, and showed him the phamphlet and he flipped out. I've never seen him go crazy like that, I was actually kind of scared.
And sorry if I keep going on, I don't really talk to people much about this, they usually go on about how I'm stupid for getting back with him. Lol.

I'm in need of a trip to the library, so ill look for it. Sounds reaally interesting. And he's always accusing me of cheating, he does it so much I'm starting to think he's the one who's cheating. I don't have any proof though. I don't want him in my life at all, but he's the father of my 2 boys, so I'm stuck. He also threatens to take the boys to florida so I'll never see them if we break up. I'm living with my mom with no job (I'm looking for one of course), and I'm not sure how all the custody stuff works out. In a perfect world he'd sign his rights over and disappear. But I know I can't have my way with that one. Haha.

That's eactly what he does. When I first brought uop getting dreads he said "you'll get tired of them and hate them. Trust me I know you better than you do. I was right about you piercing and your ears (I stretched them)" and hell say mean things like "I miss your old body, you should start working out". When I try to break up with him he guilts me. Into staying with him by threatning to kill himself. So hopefully this will be the thing that ends us. Its sad that he's so superficial, I never thought someone could be that mean. And that book sounds like it would be interesting, ill try to find something like that at the library. I love psychilogy.
