Warning: A Soapbox Post

Please wait, while I climb on my soapbox.


Ok, I'm up. Ladies, we are all to concerned with the number on the scale, whether we are too fat, or skinny, or have stretchmarks or cellulite. (And I am in that boat with you). Think instead of the moments when you look in the mirror and say, "Dang, I look good". You could be dressed up, could be wearing a flattering color or flattering shirt. Doesn't matter. I keep trying to think of those moments, when I realize I've gained weight and it's not going anywhere. When I see a photo. At the gym today I was there in pants that might be too tight, and cute yoga top that is 3 or 4 years old, but when I looked in the mirror, I didn't see the usual "too big" me, I saw a women who looked attractive and somewhat fit (and who knows maybe it was a skinny mirror or unusually flattering pants, or maybe that's really who I am).

It made me unhappy to hear a bunch of attractive, hip, fun women talk about their bodies in negative ways, when trust me their positives totally outweigh the negatives. Everyone one of them is gorgeous (and they can all booty block if you know what I mean). Life is too short to think you're fat. Yes, you should take care of yourself and work toward being healthy, but get over that whole "I'm too......" whatever. We are gorgeous women. Inside and out.

And yes, today is a moviestar underwear day (thanks Baubo).
