First Step

There's always a first to everything and one must take the first step for the first. Today, I took the first step. Towards what? Towards a more confident and healthier me. I signed up for the Marie France Transformation campaign. See www.mariefrance-transformation.com. Haa.
Well I guess that the fact that you get free slimming treatments is the biggest attraction. I have to concede that I am rather fat. Stop telling me that I'm not. I am. Because according to the recommended BMI, I am in the moderate risk of heart disease and diabetes category. I should seek medical advice to lower my BMI. The fact that there is a diabetic and heart disease history in my family sure doesn't add in my favour.
Ermm, also, who doesn't want to be slim? Especially in this realistic world. My bone structure already place me in the adnormal Asian category, considering that most Asian girls are small and petite. Even worst, Asian men are just as small size when compared to their Western counterparts.
Sure doesn't help that my sister belongs to the normal group, in fact exceptional group, since she is so pretty. Every morning when we go off to work together, she always gets the admiring looks from both guys and girls. Beside her, sometimes I feel like a godzilla. Sigh. Of course, I am not jealous or feeling pitiful for myself or anything like that. But I guess, there is envy.
For this campaign, basically Marie France is looking for 3 normal Singaporean females to be their spokespersons next year. Yup, basically become their Christy Chung or Irene Ang. Hence, they are looking for people who are

• Women with a true weight issue
• Potential to show a true physical transformation
• Photogenic quality
• Personality that can carry the celebrity status Marie France Bodyline spokesmanship will bring

Now, I fit point 1 and 2 i think. Not sure about 3 and 4. But what the heck, no harm trying right? It's not as if I will definitely be selected, but if I try, at least there will be say 1/1000 chance? (Think about a thousand women signed up already.) Hee... Hopefully I won't chicken out before the audition next Sunday. Wish me luck! =P
