Also, I do volunteer work with a non-profit organization “Terri Cares”.
It’s a group home with abandoned/abused young girls. The ages are
anywhere from 12 to 18 yrs. These girls are my life. I go over every
weekend and do their hair at my own expense. I also sit and talk with
each one of them and we go through their whole week and just discuss
good and bad decisions that were made. I try to talk to them about
being healthy overall. They see me as just this glamour doll. And I
want them to understand that being in shape, eating healthy, and
maintaining some level of fitness isn’t just about vanity……..but living
longer healthier life!
When you feel good about yourself it shows. And eventually the world
will see you for what you have become and not what you come from. The
past becomes the past. And most of them get it, the older ones anyway.
I try to sponsor as many as I can for xmas also. Its very hard for them
to eat as healthy as I would like or they would like because of their
life style, they have to eat what they are fed most of the time, but
believe me they try. I see some of them turning down desserts and
counting their carbs. It’s so cute, I love it!
