What does ‘From Bridget to Carrie’ mean exactly?
I’ve gotten this question often & yes, I realize it’s a little confusing.
For years, Sex & the City has been my favorite show. I have envied Carrie Bradshaw / Sarah Jessica Parker ever since I first saw it. She lives the life I want when I finally graduate college and get my career started. She lives in NYC, gets the guy, has a job she loves, wears amazing clothes & she’s fit. I use her as inspiration.
Now, onto Bridget. I couldn’t think of a fictional equivalent (CB is fictional, therefore I needed another fictional person) to someone overweight & unhappy, then I remembered… Bridget Jones. Albeit, she weighs 140lbs & is ‘overweight,’ which to me is a little ridiculous.
I want to go from sad Bridget to my own personal Carrie. To be happy. With my self, with my body, with my life.
