I'm watching an episode of What Not To Wear (season 10, episode 6). The woman on the receiving end of the make over is plus sized. I am so amazed by the episode. Watching the fashionistas, Stacy and Clinton, work with her regarding her self-image even more so than her wardrobe. I do not know if it is really what they think, but their words of encouragement and genuine behavior (at least on film) is so great to see.
Right now I'm at a point weight-wise that isn't fabulous. As Stacy said to Heather, the young woman receiving the make over, she is young and where she is today is not where she will be tomorrow.
One of the most amazing parts of life is the ability to change. Whether it is simply changing one's shirt after a morning coffee "oops," or creating a new lifestyle for oneself, change is always possible.
So, I'm going to tuck myself into bed, read a bit (Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco), and start fresh tomorrow.
Are you up for the challenge?
