Another blast from the past...

You beat me to the punch

One of my "missions" in life for our daughters is to have them see me comfortable with my body even though it's far from a model's figure. I want them to feel comfortable having their photo taken, wearing bathings suits, etc. regardless of what their bodies are like in the future, especially with all the dieting illnesses these days. So, I get in my bathing suit and hop in the pool or go to the beach and try not to think about what I look like knowing that I'm serving a greater good by not being self-conscious and instead enjoying the moment and enjoying what I look like. And if our kids ever made fun of anyone's looks, they'd get quite the "talking to".

We do emphasize being "fit" but we don't emphasize being "thin".

SJ, you got quite the "talking to" on this board and handled it very graciously! Thanks.

This is a test for you to discover where you are looking.

Ugh....that leopard thing just jumps out at you, know matter how hard (no pun intended!) you try not to look!

I thought I was the one who got quite the "talking to" because of my initial comments about the photo - I felt like I was getting attacked from all angles!

But, that's the beauty of this board. You pretty much know where you stand.
