I don’t actually weigh myself. I look at myself in the mirror and know when I have had too many cokes. I have had too many for about a year now. Replacing it with sweet tea probably wont make that much of a difference, so I don’t bother. Water makes me gag.
I can remember being thinner. Having bigger boobs. Having a flatter stomach.
Somewhere between having a child and aging, all that went down hill. The curse of too much to do, too little time, a few too many snacks, stretching your skin out, and skipping the gym.
I have to admit, it can be hard some days. No, I am not body image obsessed or even unhappy at the way I look, but on occasion I wish I would have appreciated it more when it moved around less.
Now a days you find my DH and I comparing who is getting older quicker. He said to me last night “Will you still love me when I am bald and fat?”
He is getting a slight receding hair line and spends the latter part of his evenings trying to cover it up. I think last I heard he was going to test out the new “James Bond” style and comb it forward.
And yes, I will still love him bald and fat.
And me?
I still remember the body that was.
But I am comfortable in the skin that is now.

No one is perfect and those that are pay for it. Way to go for being so brave! There is nothing wrong with curves.. especially those that earned you babies. You look great.
Nobody is perfect. I must say you look a hell of a lot better than I do. lol
Kudos to you for being so brave and honest! Wow, I don’t know if I could do that. And looking at you is like looking in the mirror, but somehow, you look better than I think I do! I will feel better about myself after seeing this, so thanks!
Trish, first off your underwear is cute.
And secondly you look great girl! We do not want to see ME in bra and panties!!!! lol

Wow, courageous. I can’t remember the last time I was thin and had no stretch marks, it was so long ago. I’ve always had big boobs and thick thighs
