A guaranteed way to light a fire in you ladies...

So I am big into pinup culture- love the hair and makeup and clothes. Anyway, because of my weight, I have never booked a photo shoot with our local pinup photographer. I'm just not comfortable having my picture taken or with showing off any amount of skin because I don't like the skin I am in. Anyway, one of my friends anonymously purchased a shoot for me in mid March when the big pinup model Cherry Dollface will be in town, coaching and doing hair for our local pinup photog. The shoot runs around $300 and truth be told, I am very grateful and feel loved that someone would do that for me. But it got my butt in gear to get rid of this extra baggage. lol, I don't want someone to lose their money because it is non refundable and I don't want it to go to waste. So here I am, absorbing all the knowledge I can and getting back into cardio and eating better so that I can lose enough weight to feel comfortable in my skin again. By the time I lose 10-15 pounds more for the shoot, I will have enough momentum to keep me going after too.

So ladies, if you want to light a fire in yourself and are currently uncomfortable with pictures of yourself, especially of the less clothing variety, book a pinup or boudoir session for yourself (for your own confidence boost or to give to someone special ) with a reputable local photographer. I bet you will work extra hard to look extra good in your photos!

Having something to look forward to definitely is a good motivator because that day is coming whether you give up or not!

I hope you have a blast with it!

I've already gone from 216 down to 209 but only started logging a couple days ago so I think I will hit my goal of under 200 for it. I have already assembled wardrobe too- a dress that is a size too small (and I am a seamstress so can take it in more if necessary).
