Yes, this is how my POTSie brain operates. Only a true POTSie can correlate skinny jeans with a new outlook on life. Actually, it's probably just me. Let me explain.
I got my first pair of skinny jeans the other day. This lovely "crash" I'm experiencing has resulted in a 25 pound weight loss. I might as well enjoy it! No more sweatpants and baggy t-shirts for this girl. I got some skinny jeans, a new haircut, and POTS will not control my life!
I'm a bit of a self proclaimed control freak. I think anyone who deals with a chronic illness can relate. We can't control so many things in our lives due to our poor health. So, why not have complete control over everything else? Haha! Too bad it doesn't really work that way! But, I still try! I'm a stickler about having a schedule, I've become more and more diligent about eating healthy, and I strive to look nice. I don't consider myself a vain person, but I already have to feel like crap everyday! I'd rather not look like crap, too! My hair is falling out by the handful, my skin is so pale it's almost transparent, and I have dark circles around my eyes, but I always try to look nice. I guess it's just my little way of controlling what I can, not letting this illness win! I'm stubborn to the core and this is my life! POTS will not take control of me!
