Nope, I haven't forgotten, and it would seem that getting sick in the middle was a blessing in disguise (damn learning the hard way! :oP).
Since I got sick, I haven't been wearing any jewelry (not even earings ... which are the only peices that I rarely if ever take off), and I haven't been over thinking anything. I have spent a lot more time listening to my intuition and emotions (and the emotions of others occasionally ... teenagers are just FILLED with frustrated energy, btw). I have for the last while not worried at all about what people see when they see me. I even bought a new bathing suit (which was a nice reinforcement of my self-image issues, but I realize that I can't ignore them), and have been swimming everyday for the last few days.
I am finding that swimming is amazingly transformative for me. It is one of the few places in life where I don't feel uncomfortable with myself. I feel graceful and beautiful. I love it!
