Two years ago, I spent my summer rehearsing for two Shakespeare plays and dieting/exercising. The dieting was tough, because I like eating. But I did manage to get rid of some extra weight and I found I really liked being that size of person. I still wasn't skinny even then, but it was easier to buy clothes and I felt much healthier. Ironically, even then I would have had to lose something like another 20 pounds to think about being an actor in LA, but since that's not a goal of mine, I didn't worry about it.
By now, I have gone back to eating whatever is tasty and gained that weight back. However! I think I am going to try to regain that ground this summer, starting tomorrow. No more excuses, no more, oh-just-this-one-cookie...it's an effort to reintroduce myself to discipline, because I feel I have been shockingly undisciplined in my life recently.
Also, I just realized I probably have to wear a skimpy costume and play a fairy in about 5 weeks, and it would behove me not to look as if I have been stuffed with marshmallows.
