Legs - I was born with thick thighs and a big butt. I've been working out daily since 2009 and yet, my thighs never get smaller. They firm up a bit but they never look the way "I" want them to. But I'm okay with that. It's never going to change and I know this and I'm okay. It's good to note that I also have cankles. What are cankles? Your ankle and calf are rolled into one. They're thick and that's okay too.
Belly - As you get older you tend to have a little pouch. When I bend over it gets all saggy. It's not pretty. We can also look at hips here too. I've got birthing hips. That's how real women are built!
Boobs - Boobs are just weird. Women are never satisfied with their boobs. Mine look like pancakes that sink in the middle. That's okay!
Okay, we all have parts we don't like. But it's okay and embrace it. Our society has created this image of a woman that is far from perfect. We woman do not look like the women in Vogue or Cosmo and why would we? Recently I watched a documentary on the modeling industry. The pressure to be the perfect weight or the perfect look is extremely tough and stressful. Many of those girls (and guys) leave with depression and some have eating disorders. We don't need to be like that. We need to get brave and look at our naked bodies in the mirror, say to ourselves, "It's great to be me! What I see is okay and I embrace it." We've got to or we'll drive ourselves crazy. As my friend Julia said once, "Men are just happy to have a naked women in bed. They're not looking for the imperfections." She's right! So why don't we stop with being critical with ourselves?! Stop it! I'm just the same as you. Let's get together and embrace our loveliness.We are beautiful just as we are. Love your body and the soul that is within.
