Loving Jill Scott

I fell in love with Jill Scott in Tyler Perry’s ‘Why Did I Get Married’. If you have seen the movie you would understand my affinity towards her character–

• She was intelligent [check]

• She was beautiful [blushing check]

• She was insecure [sighing check]

• She was chunky aka fat [check, check, check]

Remember how she had to leave the plane on account of her size? That was one of my worst fears flying and having to request for seat belt extensions!

Remember how her husband in the movie talked down on her when she surprised him with that lovely white/cream negligée? I would have broken his head right then!!! Yes, I would! Don’t y’all try me… LOL

Then at the end of the movie when it all came around for her – she gained confidence, gained a ruggedly handsome husband and an apology from her abuser to boot!

If you have not seen 'Why Did I Get Married', I recommend it 100%.

I’ve followed her career and life since then, and she has been my style muse –its quite hard to dress a certain way when you are a certain size – and she constantly pulled it off beautifully. So I love Jill Scott – her music, her movies, her clothes, her! I think she is a worthwhile example for all us chunky ladies out there. There is no need to hide your light under a bushel just because you are chunky and people don’t appreciate the gift that you are to their lives.

Anyhow, Jill reinvented herself recently and I’m loving it!  She lost over 63lbs! No small deal I assure you. But what totally tickles me is that she allegedly admitted that in spite of this weight loss, she still loves her curves and knows that she will never be a ‘stick figure’.

Reading stuff on the net, I gather she works out – 60 minutes of cardio and strength training three times a week with a personal trainer. This routine includes kick boxing, biking outdoors and boxing. Doable, right? Don’t let the ‘personal trainer’ bit discourage you – you too can get a personal trainer – just buy the DVD and the instructor is YOUR personal trainer! YEP!

As for eating, I hear she says that she has 3 low fat meals and two snacks each day! Remember what I blogged about in ‘Chanelling Dr Oz’ http://dropit4life.blogspot.com/2014/03/channeling-dr-oz-part-1.html? We don’t have to starve ourselves to DROP IT! Healthy choices are the best policy, and obviously Jill has got a firm handle and we should emulate her – after all her results speak for all of us struggling with excess weight!

So here is to loving JILL SCOTT…a worthy muse if you need some encouragement as you Drop It 4 Life!

I cannot wait to be her current size!!! Wink!

So, I’ve told you mine; who is your weight loss muse? Who encourages you…?
