Mind Max: Inspiration and Health

Posts Tagged ‘local tv station’

You may wonder why I talk about shapewear as much as I do. This is a pretty in-depth story. So sit tight.

 

Well I’ve always loved Oprah. I mean who doesn’t A down and out woman rises to fame to go on and conquer

 

TV becoming one of the most richest people in the world. It’s only reasonable that an ‘overweight’ woman that ‘decided’ she would conquer the world and did conquer

 

the world (quite literally) would become an American Icon.

 

So I wasn’t a super thin little girl. OK maybe I wasn’t huge,

 

but when everyone at school was trying to stay under a hundred pounds, my one-hundred and twenty five pound weight definitely made

 

me feel insecure. So naturally I didn’t frequent the popular teenage

 

spots that most young people frequent, namely malls, swimming pools, school dances and other social situations which necessitated

 

cute, tiny clothes. I just avoided all

 

social situations which might force me to wear clothes that stuck to my frame and increased my self-consciousness.

 

So when everyone was out being young and restless, I was sitting at home and watching reruns of Oprah on the local tv station. Let me tell you- I loved

 

Oprah.

 

So of course, I was screaming and jumping for joy

 

when I watched an episode of Oprah which had a woman named Sara talking about her brand Spanx! . She’s talking about footless

 

pantyhose, slimming apparel, and much more. So I Google her. And I find the answer to everything I’ve ever wanted- full figure

 

shapewear! I feel like I’ve discovered gold! As I frantically search the web for more information I realize that there’s something like full figure shapewear

 

has existed since the 18th century. In the 18th century slimming apparel was called the foundation garment and was worn under long dresses. Basically the corsets and the brassieres of the

 

18th century are comparable to today’s firm shapewear. Today’s shapewear isn’t uncomfortable, it’s smooth, light

 

and feels as if you are wearing nothing. In fact, contrary to popular perception, when I wear firm shapewear I don’t feel

 

constricted at all. I feel light and without a care. I sit straighter now, which makes my brain work better at work, I go on many more dates and I basically look great

 

at all time.

 

And you wouldn’t believe, once I got my confidence, I began to want to look EVEN better. So basically, once I started wearing firm

 

shapewear, I began to want to push my body to improve. I started going to the gym instead of eating out at lunch. I engaged in healthier eating habits due to an increased

 

love of my being. I stopped drinking alcohol. I quit smoking. All I needed was that feeling of ‘not worrying’ constantly about my weight. Slimming

 

Apparel did that for me. Once I was comfortable in my clothes I was able to completely transform my lifestyle.

 

Well you could say that it was

 

actually Oprah who changed my life. Since I would never had scoured the internet for everything shapewear had it not been for that legendary Oprah

 

episode.

 

So tell me. What was it that transformed my life?
