Ok, what woman hasn't fretted over at least one body part since adolescence, huh? My woes have always been my stomach and my short stance. No matter how much excercise I've done, or how careful I've been with my diet, the body issues always come up! Logically I can look at myself and know that I am fit and healthy, but that part of my mind that holds on to bad experiences from years ago stll influences my confidence! But not anymore.

I started watching "What Not To Wear" on TLC about 3 months ago. At first it was more like watching a train wreck. "Oh my god, they're so mean to her....What's wrong with that shirt?...Oh--they have a good point." I couldn't stop watching. Then I started to notice how absolutely amazingly transformed all of their guests would become. And the great thing is that all of the women are all different sizes, and the one thing they all have in common is that they all look so thin after their shopping spree.

Well, after 3 months of watching this show EVERY DAY (yes i get a bit obsessive) I have come to realize that most people I see on the street who look so model fabulous don't really have perfect bodies, they're just smart dressers! Seeing everyday people in this way has totally transformed the way I look at myself. By taking these "rules" from the show and applying them to my own clothes, I have come to see that my body is perfect just the way it is. With the right fit, no one else seems to think I have a stomach. So, what I am concluding is that those women who look so sharp and perfect out in Brentwood actually just know how to cover up their so called flaws. They probably learned all of this by actually paying stylists. And to think I got it for free by watching this crazy little show.
