Hey everyone, I'm Marissa and I'm new here. I figure I'll just get this out of the way. I want to lose about 70lbs, I used to be mini but I gained a few pounds (and more lol). So I think instead of sitting around being miserable thinkin "why oh why am I like this" (as I nibble on a chocolate chip cookie) I'm finally putting thoughts into action. And where to better get motivated than a place like here?
So I work in a cosmetics store (yes, I do makeup). And for you ladies out there, you know the feeling you get when you walk into a makeup store and everyone is looking and watching you..whether you're a little insecure about how your skin looks, or if you don't really know what to evern do with makeup...for me, it's my weight. I work with a lot of other women, we actually only have 1 male in our crew (and no he's not gay, he's our stock boy)...but they are all stick skinny. I've found that you don't need to be "thin" to work in the fashion industry but you definately need to be healthy and to take care of yourself. People judge your skills by how you look (and that doesn't always have to do with makeup unfortunately).
Wait..wait..I know what you're thinking : "don't do it for other people, do it for yourself!!" And I absolutely intend to be, I've done one diet after another and just yoyo around. I'm the kind of person that's starts to lose weight, gets happy about it and gains it back because of the cookie I rewarded myself with. ( I know I know...dont reward yourself with food..trust me 10lbs later you start to realize lol) So all in all, I am doing this for me. I really want to get back on track, work out, lose the weight and feel great! I'm really looking foreword to it, and I'm starting tomorrow! (officially)
So here's the thing, if you gave me some blush, eyeshadow and some red lipstick I could work magic to anyone's face. Yes anyone..I'm THAT confident. However I know I'm gonna need some help with this weight loss thing. If anyone has any tips or input I would be more than thankful.
That's about it..
Thanks All
