The acting industry where I live is brutal and hyper competitive and my 30 extra pounds could make or break castings for me. Of course I want to live a healthier life and shed the weight for myself but I’d be lying if I said my dream wasn’t a part of my goal. And I get that I have time as I’m not even out of high school but the longer I put off eating healthier and exercising more the harder it’s gonna be for me to reach my goal (135lbs) by the time I graduate or even by the time I can drive myself to auditions.
While I want to lose the weight regardless of what casting directors think of me, I hate that it’s been so hard for me to get my foot in the door and get started on my dream. I know I’m decent at acting, I was accepted into an acting focused high school, but it’s been so disheartening to see a ton of my friends find agents and get started while I’m not given the opportunity to try based on how I look.
I want to improve myself, I want to improve myself for me and my dream. I’m posting this to keep myself accountable and focused so thanks for lending ear.
