The weigh in!

This is the part that everyone dreads, getting on the scales, knowing the result will be gut wrenching. The thoughts of what you ate the night before,

haunting you.

This is my ritual, and I know it’s graphic but I am positive a lot of us do it.

I strip naked, I make sure that I have gone to the toilet, just to make sure I have gotten rid of every millilitre of pee pee that may affect my weigh in.
How ridiculous!

I close my eyes and I get on.

I start by squinting with one eye open, I guess this is to help me gradually get used to the result, instead of the huge shock wave.

So the result is .......... I can't believe I am telling the world my weight, what am I doing?

82kgs.....the crowd roars... Booooo!!!!

So the Australian Government's statistics say that I am in the obese class 1 section, and  that I should be 55-60 kgs for my height.

I personally think, that I will look like I need a good baked dinner at that weight, so I am ignoring them.

Remembering my ultimate goal is to become a vivacious, curvy Pin-up model, I think 65kgs is a perfect goal for me.

So 17 kgs, Wow!! okay, bummer! But also I think very achievable. God if the contestants on the biggest loser can lose 60kgs, I am sure I can lose 17.

Now the measuring....

Bust 104 cm - 41 inches

Waist 94 cm- 37 inches

Hips 121 cm -47.5 inches. Ouch!!

So there it is, it’s out there and it’s not pretty, and by the look of my toes, I think a good pedicure is in order!!!

I have been doing a lot of investigating on improving my appearance.

I read a  post today from Super Kawaii Mama on how to apply red lipstick.

Who would have thought to exfoliate your lips! I have never heard of this before.

Oh dear, so much to learn in this business of glamour.

The Beginning

How did this idea come to me?

My inspiration came from meeting the wonderful, inspiring, beautiful Candice Deville- Super Kawaii Mama on Sunday.

What a woman. Candice came to Newcastle early on Sunday on the train with her hair in rollers, minimal makeup, laptop draped over her shoulder and her luggage gracefully trailing behind her.

There is a definite awe around Candice, the way she holds herself, the way she speaks, then she dons a pretty dress, and magic happens.

She makes it seem so effortless, the poses so natural.

Candice was here to do a photo shoot with our Hotrods to promote our business MisKonduct Klothing a Modern Vintage Boutique.

My partner Brook and I started this business in June 2010.

What a thrill it was to see these clothes come to life. As I explained in my about me. I am weight challenged, I don't get to try on these fabulous outfits. I have to coax my sister to model for me or wait till we do markets and fairs. It's there I get to see the lovely slim girls looking fabulous.

No more time to be depressed about it.

I am going become vivacious , and you can watch me do it.

I am going to take a photo of my self weekly and do a diary similar to Bridgette Jones.

Being honest about weight lost/ or gained, where I went wrong and my thoughts about the whole thing.

If I eat it, I have to Blog It,  I'm accountable to the world!!!!

Next installment, the weigh in....Booooo!!








my aim is to go from this
