The Cinderella Pact

By MJ

This all started a few weeks ago when I caught part of a Lifetime movie – “Lying to be Perfect” which is based on the book “The Cinderella Pact” by Sarah Strohmeyer. It got me thinking..

I need to find myself some good friends who will support and encourage me to not only lose weight but to better myself in all aspects. To become the person I was meant to be. If YOU are one of those willing to support me on this journey, please feel free to comment on my posts, send me messages.. either anonymously or through registering.

In the book, Strohmeyer includes a “Guide to Indulging Your Inner Cinderella,” I am trying to accomplish some of these along my journey.

To understand what some of these mean, you must read the book – and I highly recommend it.

– “Take that photo of you as a little girl off your mother’s refrigerator. Tape it to your bathroom mirror. Admire how happy she is, how sparking. Be her, again. ”

– “Buy a tiara”

– “Believe it. Be it.”

– “Remember that you do NOT need a prince to be Cinderella.”

– “Find your fairy godmother.  Or godsister. Or godgirlfriend.”

– “Stick with the program!”

– “Act like Cinderella.”

– “Look like Cinderella.”

–”Unveil your inner Cinderella.”

So I am currently taking applications for a Fairy god????? and I am making this pact with myself. This is it. I have wasted too much time and cannot afford to waste anymore. I hope you will all come along for the ride and perhaps change yourselves for the better along the way.
