Hello SG land! Long time not writing anything here, how have you been?
Since last summer I decided to change my life when I saw I definitelly wasn't fit.
I always liked my body and I never felt "the need" to change it at all, but I have been taking modeling more seriously each time, and this choice just had to come.
I never really cared about my physical status because all my life I have been a drawing artist and not a model, so I cared more about my drawings than about myself because nobody had to see me anyway, but now it's different.
I though it was a waste of time and money to look for the best photographers when I didn't have the best body (according to how I wanted it to be), and I felt bad seeing a gorgeous photo ruined because of my laziness. That's when I decided to start improving my look.
The "before" photo is from September 2014, more than a year ago (although my body was very similar until last month) and now I see a lot of improvement, not just about my body but everything else:
1) Now I have a better phone with a better resolution camera.
2) Now I use a darker orange dye for my hair because the old one was too light and sometimes it was more like blonde than ginger.
3) Now I have my own mirror so I can take selfies in my own room (which was a mess by the way, I cleaned and decorated it to look like in the second photo, so there are 2 improvements in the same point) with frontal light, and making possible to dress and undress for photos with intimacy.
4) Now I don't have a straight bang and I let it grow (let it grow, let it grooow! sorry, I had to say it xD). A lot of people told me the bangs didn't look good on me although I loved it, but damn, they were right xD
5) Now I follow a healthy diet instead of eating absolutely everything I wanted all day, and honesty I barely miss it.
6) Obvioulsy, THE GYM <3. The most important improvements were this and the diet, but everything else helped a lot too, specially when taking selfies for my instagram.
I never had a body like this before, sometimes I don't recognize myself in the mirror and in photos, but damn I totally and completely love it. It means my effort is working and I'm closer to my goals, and I feel like a different person in a good way.
Now I don't want to stop it, I want to keep working out and keep improving my body, I can't wait to start shooting again this summer <3
