YES LOVALIES - YOU’RE FAT BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT WEARING
MASCARA!
Honey, we need to talk . . . don’t worry, I’m not breaking up with you J
*Note* If you’ve been
held hostage by a team full of Sonny Bill Williams lookalikes, who want to feed you grapes all day (go you! – but please
remove yourself from my dream) . . . . . then it is likely this blog will not
apply to you. (For anyone outside of NZ, I suggest you google that name for an
accurate mental pic).
If however, you are like a good portion of my clients, who
tend to describe themselves as drab, frumpy, cartoonish, blobby – and other variations
of all those negative descriptive words . . .
Then pay heed!
One of the reasons for your squidgyness (yes, I said ONE of
the reasons . . . that means it’s not the only one . . . just a contributing
one, an additional source of, a donator to the cause even . . . but not the
only one) . . .
Is you ain’t dressing up all spunky like!
(I should state that Spunky is a NZism, possibly an
Aussie-ism also, for being all funky and with-it, and having a bit of attitude
that makes people want some of what you got).
So one of the things my weightloss clients do, usually fairly on in the
piece, is do a wardrobe cull.
So here’s how I do it – but feel free to amp it up to make this work for you
. . .
1.
Put on
some music that makes you move like Jagger (minus the joobie lips that I recon
would flap around in the wind like a dogs do, if he stuck his head out the car
window).
2.
Have a wine – this is designed to be a little
fun (if you’re like me and not much of a drinker, then this step is optional), and put on your flashest under-things (not so optional, unless you're into the free n breezy thing)
3.
Put on some make-up. A'ha – I said ‘doll you’re face up a little’. I’ve done this both with and without the
pretty powdery stuff, and ya know what???
While everyone that knows me, will tell you I’m not a wear it all the
time, or plaster it on type of gal . . . I find it makes a huge difference to
the way I feel about myself . . . and to the way I feel in an outfit . . . so
whadoyaknow – the stuff has it’s uses!
4.
Go through your wardrobe – and put everything
that you recall wearing, that makes you feel less than a hot tamale, in a
donation bag (just because that item doesn’t
do much for you, does not mean that someone else can’t do with it)
-
Oi, don’t
even think about trying them on again now to check! You’ve worn them before and you’ve felt
frumpy, don’t give them a chance to attack your self esteem any further, ditch
them now!
5.
Have another wine (again optional, we’re not
trying to turn you into a lush)
6.
Begin to try on your clothes – anything that’s
too big, in the donation bag (you ain’t going to be needing those items again!)
7.
Move anything that’s too small to one side – you
can try these clothes every couple of weeks or monthly to see which items you
can now move into the ‘wearables’ side
8.
Now you can have a party with the clothes you
have available – try new combinations, different jewellery and shoes with each –
try and find two or three different ways of wearing each thing – I bet you’ll
be surprised at what you come up with
9.
Call in your man and show off the new, more
confident version of you
10.
Ummm – do what comes naturally . . .
yes, get him to take you out!
*Note Numero Deux*
(see you’re even beginning to talk all French and sophisticated) – this also
applies to the clothes you wear to exercise in!!!
So, have you figured out my point?? Have ya?
Well my point (for those not quite so quick on the uptake)
is, when you look good, no matter what you’re current size or state of fitness
or health, you are more inclined to want to do things that make you feel even
better, or you put more effort into feeling better . . .
So you do things like exercise more and eat healthier . . .
or you exercise harder when you don’t wear your old daggy clothes . . . and
while I don’t know if any scientifical studies have been done to prove this . .
.
I have plenty of clients that can attest to my speaking the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me Sonny Bill
So, like some fashionista has said “don’t you be going nowhere
without you’re mascara girl” – ok so they probably didn’t say it quite like
that . . . but from now on, when you get up in the morning, do yourself a favour and put on the clothes and face that
make you feel goooooood.
Oh, and just so we're not breaching anything, the mascara image I used in our pic came from asianscent.com - thanks ladesses :-)
