Excess weight limits your choice of style and freedom of expression. Often women who have lost weight, who have been overweight for many years, although they are shrinking in size, still do not know how to present themselves in a new way. This happened to Jamie, who has already lost 100 kg and continues to lose weight, but has no idea how to dress and paint.
Overeating and a sedentary lifestyle
Jamie is a 38-year-old American woman who began to recover greatly in college. At 22-23 years old, the girl began to gain weight due to a sedentary lifestyle and consumption of excessive amounts of food, including fast food. Jamie was unhappy and the food was a real comfort to her. The maximum weight was almost 200 kg, which became the point of no return.
One day, it was discovered that Jamie had a prediabetic condition and polycystic ovary syndrome. It was necessary to take action and urgently lose weight. She immediately thought about bariatric surgery, which did not require any effort from her, but it turned out that it was not so simple. And the operation itself scared her, and it turned out that later she would still need work on herself and a diet.
Diet and exercise
Jamie decided to do without surgery and to increase physical activity - to engage in fast walking. But it turned out to be not so simple: after walking, her legs literally fell off and her back hurt, which received a huge and unusual load for herself.
Then Jamie decided to try the trendy keto diet, which is a strong cut of carbohydrates and sugar, assuming a diet consisting of proteins and vegetables. She also began to practice intermittent fasting. The new lifestyle bore fruit: every three months Jamie lost 23-25 kg.
New life
After losing half of her starting weight, Jamie began to feel completely different. She became more confident in herself, began to pay attention to the clothes she was wearing, because she no longer needed to wrap herself up in oversized things. Now she could dress and dye fashionably, but there was one problem.
A woman who has been overweight for most of her life never paid attention to either style or makeup, so she just did not know where to start in order to prove herself. She said that she had been invisible all her life, and it was time to finally come out of the shadows. For this, she turned to the Rachel Ray program, whose professionals help to find her own style, offering her vision.
Controversial dress choice
Jamie, who continues to lose weight, has a peculiar figure that needs to be presented, considering the merits and demerits. Stylists suggested a short dress above the knee with a V-neck and a belt that emphasizes the waist. Undoubtedly, the choice of such a neckline for a woman with a massive upper zone, wide shoulders and a short neck is always a winning one.
The snake print, like the leopard print, is often recommended as the perfect fake pattern that allows you to hide the fullness without drawing attention to it. The choice of stylists in this case is quite justified, but given the peculiarities of the figure of a woman who weighs about 100 kg, the choice of the length and degree of tightness of the dress remains unclear.
The dress is above the knee, so it accentuates problem legs, which could have been easily avoided by choosing at least a midi length. Also, perhaps it would look more aesthetically pleasing with a slightly looser cut at the top, in the arms and shoulders. The shoes - classic stiletto heels - are in perfect harmony with the dress, creating a complete uniform style with it.
New haircut and hair color
The hair master cut off the heroine's hair, making a classic bob haircut with carelessly curled strands. The stylist of the project explained the choice of a shortened haircut by the fact that long hair is like old clothes that cover it, does not allow to reveal itself and emphasize individuality. But a short bob allows you to unleash the potential of your hair by adding it to a new look.
Natural dark hair is lightened and highlighted in strands, which gives it a visual volume, lightens the image, making it softer and more dynamic.
