Dad and I were having the Monks and the Handy's round for Curry. Normally, we would order Chinese or Indian takeaway, but due to dad's hospital scare, the idea of then having takeaway seemed a bit silly!
So Rosemary and Lesley would make the curry, and we would provide starters, rice and dessert. I had this idea of making mango cheesecake...
This was what the practice run looked like. Looked nice, though had rather a lot of cheese on top! So decided on changing how I did the recipe slightly, went terribly wrong, and thank goodness Lesley was able to fix it, putting in eggs to keep it all together so I could bake it. Dessert sorted. I then learnt how to make curry properly, and realised how incredibly easy it actually is.
Imbetween cooking for the dinner party, going to the gym, and everyone coming round, I got a surprising message from a lady from a job website I'm on:
She thinks I would be perfect to enter this beauty pageant!
As you probably know from earlier posts, I have been having some self worth issues concerning my body, but when this message came through, my confidence definitely shot up. I was good enough to compete against a whole load of other beautiful curvy women. That must mean that I don't look as bad as I thought I did!
It definitely is an opportunity, and I might just take it (after I checked that it is reputable), just to take myself out of my comfort zone. It also gives me a goal weight-wise to work on.
I don't believe in coincidence. There is a reason for everything, you just have to find it.
I am sure I won't be able to get a career out of being a plus size model, but it might be a good hobby and help me feel better about myself.
Hell, we only get to live once, why not enjoy it? x
