Okay So wats up?? Trying to be a model thats whats up!
Let me tell you trying to lose weight is not easy especially when your not big at all and LOVE to eat. But it's hard out here and a sister trying to be a model. It takes work (hard work) and i have yet to begin. Last week i was on my laptop just browsing the web u know facebook all that good stuff and i had the television on and the Mo'Nique Show happen to be on. Well Ms. Mo'Nique had Isaiah Washington (guy off Grey's Anatomy)as a special guest on the show. Well he was telling a story of how he was at a gathering and a young lady came up to him and was telling him how she wanted to be a actress and this young lady stated "i want to fit in" what should i do to fit in, in this industry.."SHOULD I LOSE WEIGHT". Mr. Washington answered No all you gotta do is have the world fall in love with your charm, your heart, your faith, your vision..Don't get caught up in the change and lose yourself. That young lady at time was of course Mo'Nique This was some inspiring words that i must say that i have not heard in a while. The reason why these words where so fulfilling to me was because i want to be a model and i want to fit in the norm of what a model "looks" like. Okay let me get a little deeper if i still got you wondering what the hell I'm talking about Im 6'0 and where a size 9 in jeans 7 on my good days and medium in shirts..i hope you didn't think i was going to tell you my weight PSH HONEY PLZ. The point im getting at is i want to become that model "size" because that is what i'm passionate about right now. But the problem is this image that we are spitting out to young women of what looks good in society today is not positive at all..it's not normal for every girl to be a size 2 and 4, that doesn't work out for every girl (me for example). But i want to be a a smaller size I'm not going to lie..because you don't see models nowadays that are a size 9 thats borderline plus size, but in reality size 9 is a normal size for a young lady. I can say that women(me included) go to drastic measure to become what we are not. An example is taking diet pills to lose weight!!! Now i must say that im guilty of this act, i tried two different types the first one was a COMPLETE fail and the second one i didn't really take for long and i stopped. All i want to say is what is the world comming to for women to feel like they are forced to look a certain way to fit in? Because i struggle everyday to not only to better myself but to better myself to become somethin that I've dreamed of for so LONG. And honestly "SHOULD I LOSE WEIGHT" is a question i been asking myself for a long time & if i want to set a good example for my younger sister and other young females to love themselves regardless sooo HOW THE HELL DO I EXPLAIN THIS ONE TO THEM?..Now if you could excuse me, off to the gym!
*Love, Peace, & FASHION!
