I'm still a little depressed. However, been taking care of myself more today, though it feels awkward. I'm drinking water instead of soda all the time. The soda's been messing with my stomach and making me feel ill and I'm too much addicted to it anyway. Also showered, which I do every day, but then I brushed my hair well and parted it the way I like, plus brushed my teeth and scrubbed the dry skin off my face. It doesn't sound like much, but I don't do these things often enough. I still feel ugly. But it's better, knowing I'm doing what I should, instead of letting this illness kick me down again and again, like I have been doing.

Baby steps.
