Hey OH Friends & Family,

                So sorry I have been so lost lately. I’ve been incredibly busy since graduating. I have been working on Fashion shows and photo shoots every week! Aside from working full time, I have also been making house calls for manicures, facials, makeup and waxing. Its been crazy and I absolutely love it! I have an online portfolio if you guys want to check it out. Its currently under construction and it needs a lot of work and it needs to be updated but you are more than welcome to visit www.modelmayhem.beautyblissbynatalie . Oh and I also got my braces! Finally! They are the worst thing I have ever done to myself. People ask me whats worse, the braces or the sleeve surgery and by far it is these damn braces! I keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end but I don’t seem to be very convincing lol. My weight loss has slowed considerably but I am getting smaller. I bought a skirt! A freaking skirt, size 15. I cannot remember when was the last time I wore a skirt. And get this, a size medium shirt. Tucked into my skirt. With tall boots! I don’t have to tell you how amazing I felt! Woohoooo! And with good always comes a little bit of bad to rain on my parade, my hair is still falling out a lot. It’s incredibly thin now& it’s quite noticeable. It’s frustrating and depressing and it makes me want to cry at times. My hair has always been one of my favorite things about myself & it’s difficult to see it on my brush, in my hands & basically everywhere but my head. I do see some new growth & I know it will take time for my body to adjust to all the changes but I can’t help but mourn the loss. but even with that, I would do the surgery again in a heartbeat. At times, I feel like my mind hasn’t caught up with what has happened to my body and I still see the 300+ lbs Natalie in the mirror but then someone snaps a picture of me & I honestly can’t believe that’s me. I have to ask, do I really like that in real life? Lol! And what is completely surreal to me is that people now ask me for weight loss advice. Not only that, but they ask me for fashion and beauty advice as well. This experience has been so rewarding in so many more ways than just a smaller number on the scale. At one of the fashion shows I worked I was approached about doing Plus Sized Modeling. I have a shoot set for next week. Of course I will be posting pictures! Oh and for my single girls, the attention from the male species has been overwhelming! I am not ashamed of my weight loss & they are all aware of it & have seen my before pictures on Facebook. I’m much more comfortable in my skin now & I think it shows.

Wow, that was lot of topics to cover in one paragraph lol.

<3,
nat
