Day 5 - 1/5/2009

Today was a major victory.  I am proud to say that I am now able to wear contact lenses.  While it took a little longer than the allotted 1 hour time limit and after quite a few unsuccessful attempts along with some major discomfort, I was able to achieve my goal of not only getting contacts in my eyes but also doing it on the first appointment.  

So there Madame Doctor who said I'd never get contacts in my eyes.  HaHA.  Soon I'll have my amber eyes and step one will be complete.  Who knows, I might even dye my hair the same day to complete the look at the get go.  Overall, mind over matter was the victor here. I'm pretty proud of myself. Now that one of the major obstacles is passed, I can now focus solely on the next big issue, my weight.  This isn't a quick process, but if this episode with the contacts have proven anything to myself it's that if I want something bad enough, I'll keep working at it until I achieve my goals.
