Back(fat) again

Alright so I havent posted to this blog in a long time but I decided it was high time I started to write again. So, you might have guessed I am still struggling with my weight. I am working out now trying to train for a marathon. I know what you're thinking...Angela, are you frickin' crazy? You will die a thousand deaths, you might as well just have the asthma attack now and save yourself the entry fee. Well, I am doing it! I have to. It benefits the women of the congo and it is called run for the congo. it is supposed to be in Phoenix in November so I have plenty of time to die a thousand deaths and be reincarnated as an inshape, amazing, asthma free runner with a firm butt and thighs that dont rub together......Sorry I fell asleep for a moment...Moving on...So speaking of thighs, the other day a woman came in to my 2nd job which we will call the Anti- Ultuh(spelled incorrectly on purpose). She was asking for this product we sale called fat girl slim. It's this cream, that supposedly if rubbed on your thighs gets rid of cellulite..oh wait, excuse me..reduces the appearance of said cellulite. So I show her where its at and she looks at me and says " this is for skinny girls too you know..not just girls like you" And in my mind i went...Screeching record..what the &*^&%? who says something like that? I didnt even have time to be offended because I was too focused on the embarassment I had for her and for the stares she was getting from those around her. Well, I looked at her and said" actually cellulite is genetic, you can be nichole ritchie thin and still have cellulite, its based on genetics not body type" and then I threw a pie at her face...okay that last part didnt happen but if I had had a pie I may have considered it for 2 secs:) It cracks me up the things that we are asked in the beauty industry. I am all about education and helping people feel beautiful, but its times like those that make me pull my hair out and have to use a hair serum to grow it back..haha..it's a vicious cycle..unitl next time,

Me
