New Year, New Look?

Every year when New Years comes along, millions of people make resolutions to change something about themselves. I myself am also one of them, and its not a very original resolution, perhaps you can say a very common one. I, Madiha Sheikh, hereby declare to lose 20 pounds as my resolution for 2011! Yes I said it, it's out there and I can't take it back. People who know me are probably thinking, why 20 pounds? Maybe 10 is enough? The answer is very simple, because I would want to be able to wear clothes without my flab hanging out on the sides and because I believe that high class fashion only looks good when you are fit. And to add on to my reasoning; I most certainly need to do this for myself. Through this blog I will not only talk about fashion around the world, but also about my fitness. Hopefully, this will be my motivation to finally shed those 20 pounds! 

My first inspiration came about when I was standing in the grocery store isle and noticed Jennifer Hudson from American Idol on the front cover of some magazine. She looked amazing! Much better from when I saw her on American Idol. She had completely transformed herself and was in an amazing shape. After giving birth to her son, she went on Weight Watchers and lost about 80 pounds! If you look at her now, she not only looks younger but the clothes she wears are falling so beautifully on her. She has turned into a fashionista!

My second inspiration is the beautiful Indian actress: Katrina Kaif. She always has this grace about her and I believe she carries herself with a lot of class. Her fashion sense is very much up there and she always looks good wearing anything. Standing 5'9 tall, this mixed beauty has worked very hard shedding pounds to show off her toned & slim body. For her new movie, 'Tees Maar Khan', she was asked to show her midriff for a song "Sheila ki Jawani". She went all out to give her best for this new avatar. I must say, I like the new Katrina!

Of course, my goal in losing weight is not to sound shallow and give importance to appearances "only", but I am mainly motivated to change myself internally to then bring a change in me physically, so I can feel and look good all at the same time! Much of our internal well-being is related to our outer appearance and to be fashionable in every sense, I'd advice you to take good care of yourself this year! Don't stress, laugh a lot, keep good friends and love your family.
