Last night the hubs wanted to go out for burgers... and I was all "this sounds good, but I'm going to feel so gross and down on myself afterward" and it happened. I need to eat better because then, even if I'm not losing weight I will feel better about my choices.<br /><br />Sorry, tangent.<br /><br />And nonfat froyo talking about boobs does NOT make me feel this way, and should be done often!

I have no idea how it worked out this way.<br /><br />My daughter and I have been talking about this and she pointed out that I'm happier with my appearance--at 40 lbs overweight-than her best friend's mom, who is in unbelievable shape and hot by anyone's definition does. <br /><br />I cannot explain it.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308981464139716859.post-6915212004951757332010-07-15T09:21:00.131-07:002010-07-15T09:21:00.131-07:00One of the many things my mom somehow did right wa...One of the many things my mom somehow did right was to not have any body issues of her own and to make sure I did not either. And I know I am in the minority of women in that way as I've watched so many of my friends struggle with it too. <br /><br />I so wish I could snap my fingers for you so that the part of your brain that recognizes that you have issues (you should be proud of that alone right there - the wisdom to know yourself that well) totally erases the other part that wont let you own your self confidence completely.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810652588116637142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308981464139716859.post-36653608980017509952010-07-15T06:49:43.027-07:002010-07-15T06:49:43.027-07:00Yeah...I think we all have issues to some degree, ...Yeah...I think we all have issues to some degree, which is why you won't see me in a bathing suit when me & the kids swing by later. :)<br /><br />I kind of had a similar moment yesterday when the cute, 20-something server chic at CPK kept calling me "Ma'am," making me feel like an old prune. It seems like EVERYONE lately has been calling me "Ma'am" and for some reason it's bugging me. Probably because I'm just a stone's throw away from the big 4-0.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503150701367158367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308981464139716859.post-42455292656320707752010-07-15T06:46:55.807-07:002010-07-15T06:46:55.807-07:00I hear you.

Last night my ten year old asked me what she can do to make her "upper legs" (her term) look thinner. I told her she's perfect and has strong, dancer's legs. Then I went in the bathroom and cried.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074805816407286017noreply@blogger.com
