[misscalifornia]

Hi everyone! As you can see in my name MISSCALI, stands for Miss california! Well guys im fat! I weigh 225 lbs, and obviously Miss california is usally nice and slim. Well I called the Miss Teen California directors and they want me to be in the pageant in 2006, well they dont know that I weigh 225. I really wanted to enter this year but its IMPOSSIBLE to lose 100 by this september, so IM reaying to make it in next SEPT 2006, so basically I have 15 months to lose 100 lbs. Thats about 6.6 lbs a month and thats about 1.6 lbs a week. It looks reasonable and not Unrealistic. So im pretty sure I can do it. I cant wait for the pageant its going to be in Palm Springs! I'll keep everyone updated!

Good luck, as a former pageant girl I just implore you to keep your wits about you in this diet thing.
I was a contestant in the Miss USA pageant system. I am 5'8 and at the time weighed 125 and wore a size 4/6. I was the LARGEST girl in the pageant weight wise, and only a few girls were actually taller.
You spend a week with the other contestants prior to the pageant and I have never witnessed so many eating disorders in the making. My own roomate, had gotten breast implants and two nose jobs prior to the pageant. She was about 5'6, 105 pounds, but I couldn't believe it when she brought with her a full suitcase of junk food...chips..cakes..candies...and a carton of cigarettes. It didn't take long for me to notice that after she chowed on the sweets she spent at least 1/2 hour in the bathroom with the water running.
Other contestants refused to eat the whole week of competition, only taking bites of food or sippng drinks when judges or chaperones were watching. And for pageant girls low carb means just chicken breast or fish and maybe A vegetable.
Another girl, a petite Asian woman, who wore a size one, actually had her thighs liposuctioned after she didn't place.
You will be encouraged to do so many unhealthy things, even by some adults who should know better, so just bring yourself an arsenal of self esteem, confidence and knowledge about what's good for you and your body.
I guarantee you that even after you lose all that weight and think you look great, SOMEONE will tell you you are still too heavy, but put your health and values first! Again, good luck!
