Makeover Games and Me!

It’s time for some serious makeover games. There is something powerful that happens in the spring to make me decide that it’s time to make a change. When I feel the need to change, I act on it – after all, life is designed for taking chances and doing fun new things. If I’m getting a bit gray around the temples, which suddenly I am, it’s time to dye my hair. If I see spots on my skin, it’s time for more foundation and concealer. There’s no reason to go through life looking like a total slob, although I do this all of the time already. It would be far better to finally pull myself together and start looking like I care about myself again.

When I play makeover games, I expect my universe to feel a bit more comfortable. I feel icky when I know I’m not trying to make myself look as great as I normally might, and that feeling will follow me throughout all of my day. I hate it, but then I just can’t get myself motivated enough to do something about it properly at the beginning of the day. I think a full transformation is in the works, and fortunately I have spring break to do it in. I’ve decided that when I come back from spring break, I’m going to be a new and improved me – and that will be the product of great makeover games!

Makeover Games and Television

I’m never exactly sure if television is a hinder for makeover games or if it’s a boost. The actors on television are women who are almost unnaturally thin most of the time, and to look very thin on television, you have to be even thinner in real life. It’s an unrealistic standard for most of us. Of course, there are now so many shows that realize this, however, and those shows are giving us a better idea of how to lose weight and get in shape.

Why not hop on the treadmill while you watch Biggest Loser? Or spend the commercial breaks of Celebrity Fit Club doing some crunches and squats? If you use the television as inspiration to make yourself healthier, you’ll be able to do far more with your time than you would be able to if you were pinning your hopes on being thin enough to make a size 0 someday.

Makeover Games and the Winter Months

If your makeover games are going to include a dramatic reveal of a new body type, the winter is the best time to make a big change. Start a new work-out routine in the fall as the weather cools down and you’ll be able to hide your progress under big sweatshirts and heavy jeans and pants. As the rest of your school is gaining weight from the holiday season, you’ll be trimming up and looking better and better.

You’ll be able to let everyone know in a big way if you wait to do a final reveal of your new figure after spring break. Keep wearing the heavy clothes through those final cool months. Over spring break, get a new hairstyle and update your makeup. Buy some new outfits that really showcase your makeover games, and then, when you walk into school on the Monday after the holiday, everyone can admire how hard you’ve worked and your progress to date.

Makeover Games and Weight Gain

It’s easy to enjoy yourself when you’ve lost weight, but it gets much more complicated when you’re dealing with a weight gain. When you gain weight your body shape changes and suddenly numbers become more important than fit. If you can just get back into size [insert number here] then the world will be a better place. This is why you see so many women and girls squished into pants that are obviously too tight.

It’s surprising to many people who have gained weight to learn that you are far more attractive in clothing that is one size larger, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Squishing out of pants makes you look fat. Wearing pants that skim across your body makes you appear more slender. If your clothing is getting too tight and weight loss isn’t a rapid solution, take yourself shopping. Rather than feeling bad during your makeover games at home that your old clothing does fit, just enjoy the clothing you can find that does fit and flatter.
