This may be a biased poll, but I'd like to know your thoughts. I haven't shaved in almost two years, and I have a few reasons why: One, a guy's opinion on how a girl should groom herself is not his business, two, a girl's opinion on how other girl's groom themselves is also not her business, three, a pack of razors alone cost $10 if you don't buy shaving cream or aftershave and it adds up, four, knicks, rashes, and ingrown hair is irritating to the skin and is not only irritating but dries out the skin, so you'd need to add body lotion to the list of things you need to buy, and five, the ultimate five, I had no reason to shave because I was not comfortable with my body....now that I have lost 20 pounds, there is a sense of pride with my body and I'd like to flaunt it, and even though I did seem confident wearing shorts and dresses with unshaved legs throughout the whole summer, I still felt uncomfortable when people stare, as natural as it to see a woman who does not shave at her age.

The only reason I will shave, however, is because I am proud of my body and I want to flaunt it, and smooth legs will make me feel better and gives the sense of taking care of my "new and improved" body. This was going to be a question of should I or should I not, but at the end of writing this, I decided today will be a spa day for me.

Oh, and I am very excited to have lost 20 pounds! My next goal is another 20 pounds, and then another, and then another, and then I will hit my goal weight which was the weight I was at the day I was admitted to the hospital 5 years ago. All in all I will be losing 96 pounds, but I, and even my coworkers who I've only worked with them for two months, have noticed a difference. I have already dropped two pant sizes!
