February Theme is "ALL OF ME"
How can we love all of ourselves,, flaws and all? Something I definately need to work on! This is normally a picture I would NEVER post let alone have taken.
This picture was taken quite a few years ago now, and I remember thinking at the time (FREAKING OUT) that someone was actually taking a picture of me in a bathing suit! I think now I would actually have dived under the water if someone was taking a picture of me in my bathing suit. How sad is this.. how sad is it we have to analyze all our flaws and why is it not okay to be OKAY with ourselves? I would love to meet a woman that is okay with herself, and I would love for that woman to teach me how to even begin to be okay....
A friend of mine tells me that you need to look at yourself in the mirror everyday (as stupid as it may feel or sound) and tell yourself "I LOVE YOU".. I have tried this, and struggled with this.. and DO feel so dang stupid.. so far.. it is not working but I guess it takes time. I have looked in the mirror for so long now saying negative things that for the amount of time I have done this (almost all my life) it will at least take 1/2 the time saying positive things...
This months SPT challenge will be good for me.. it will be a time to let go of having to be critical of everything about myself..to accept WHO I AM, with all my flaws!
Well dear I think we all feel that way alot and I have to say if I looked half as good as you do I might actually wear a bathing suit!!! had to have one for water therapy this last year when I broke my leg!! now that was a trip for sure!!(had to buy one sight unseen and off the internet cuz had to use a walker and wasn't about to go thru the mall like that!!!so it was a hoot!! and well maybe one day will actually loose those 10 lbs extra and yeah like I'll stop eating!! ha!! NOT!!
oh and see your baby was out there too and is that your little wiener dog?? thought you only had the golden?? my wienie hates the rain and can't imagine her in the water!! giving her a bath is a chore!! ok well off for now!! hang in !!!
