Don't ask me what they are 'cause I was barely paying attention. I'll start at the start:
About two weeks ago I had a pain in my foot. I chalked it up to being on my feet (after all I do have two jobs). I decided that a trip to my fav nail salon for a pedi was in order...but not until I got paid, of course. So for a week I barely noticed the pain. In fact I just kept on business as usual in all area esp. in my footwear. I'm a heels girl. I stand at 5 foot almost 1 inch flat-footed. I weigh about 230 so the last few years heels have been a staple in my wardrobe. So last week when my foot hurt so badly I had to switch to flip-flops. After a few days & many ice packs later I dragged my pitiful foot to the foot guy (can't spell the "p" word).
I left the office with an 'script & an order to get some "supportive sneakers"...& to wear them for the next 2 weeks. Here's the problem: I don't wear sneakers. I have many many heels...a few flats...some flip-flops...& one very dusty pair of "walking shoes" (ie: non-supportive sneakers). So I went out to buy sneakers. Then four stores & $60 later I had a pair of shoes I deemed acceptable. Then my self esteem dropped about 14 pts.
My 5 foot almost 1 inch ego couldn't take being that height. I felt ugly, fatter, fashion-less &...frumpy! For 3 days I was quiet, withdrawn, generally not myself. It was awful...& I'm not over it.
So what do I do? Do I look inward? Focus on inner beauty? For right now...I'm cheating. Today I wore flip-flops. Tomorrow I'm gonna try heels.
