The 180 Challenge

8/09/2009

It all started with a question. 


"Can I really do anything that will make an impact?"


Sure, we hear about how "one person can change the world", but come on- is that really possible? As I look at the number of people on this planet today (about 6.776 billion...but who's counting?), my life seems so small and insignificant. How can I-one 19 year old girl in Corpus Christi, Texas- make an impact for change?


The question was asked, and the Challenge was born. 


180: 1 Change. 80 Days. Total Transformation. 


The Question: Can one really make a difference? 


The Challenge: Every day, for 80 days, make one positive change addressing the concept of beauty. 


The Goal: Change the way we see beauty, live beauty, and define beauty.


The Answer: To be decided. 


 


One of the hardest things about overcoming an eating disorder (or negative body image) is the broad scope of the problem; there is a lot that needs changing, and the idea tends to overwhelm more than inspire. Yes, there is a lot to change, but you don't have to tackle it all at once. One tiny change can lead to one huge transformation. 


Starting tomorrow (August 10) I will change one thing every day for 80 days. You can take part in this journey with me or just read the play-by-play as I go along. Can the way we see beauty be changed in 80 short days? 


Come see me in 80 days and we'll find out.
