This post is a day late, and I apologize for that.
Basically, the goal of my blog is to chronicle my journey through being not someone else, but being a better me. Right now, I’m dealing with the cosmetic things: weight loss, skin care, things like that. I am hoping to lose 50 pounds by May 2010, which will hopefully put me at a dress size of at least 12. I am doing this partially for my health and partially for my vanity. It will also save me money on clothes. I plan on doing at least three hours of exercise per week and watching my diet to eliminate foods that I just plain don’t need to eat.
Hopefully, along with the weight loss, will come a reduction in my breast cup size. I have thought about reduction surgery, but am unsure that I want to go through with it without trying on me own. I am currently a 36 DDD and would like to be a 36 D or 36 C.
I also am trying to grow out my tresses. Right now they’re very short (I had uploaded a picture of them, but took it down). They are texturized (my hair, when natural, has a 4b [tight and kinky] curl pattern to it). My goal length is about APL (arm pit length). I am unsure of when I should plot this goal down for, but I know that it will take a considerable amount of time.
I would like to get braces. I will have to look into this more, but the current quoted fee that I have is around $5400 USD and an approximation of about 2 years to completion. If I find my quote I will update this to the exact figure.
I want to be more fashion savvy, or at least look like I care a bit more about my appearance (which I do). I’ll likely update with an outfit or two that I have put together, along with experimentations in accessorizing. I’m already pretty good at doing my own makeup, so maybe I’ll put that in here too.
Like I said, I am not looking to do a complete and total makeover in order to look like someone else. I want to be me, only better, and I hope that this may inspire other people to do the same
