Lyn at Escape from Obesity gave me a great inspiration to just make it a "love your parts" day, so I'm posting this picture of a part of me I appreciate so I can learn more self body love and concentrate on something I think is good about my looks. Hey, I'm an ex-model, there's not a lot about my looks I dig--ever. It really can be a mind screwup for a young person at a tender age. I was either too thin, too tall, too gangly... So, here it is. A shot of something I appreciate. These "girls" when hoisted up even higher can be imposing and quite distracting apparently, as men have trouble remembering I have a face, but they are soft and feminine and for a girl who's always been built like a stick figure, having something soft on your body is pretty darned nice. As I work my way towards doing a bikini shot on my birthday, I think about these girls and hope they will stick around as I whittle down my mid section for that glamour shot. I really enjoy Lyn's blog. She is insightful and what she talks about applies to all women who never think they've quite "arrived" when all the time they were always "there," they just had to see it. Her photo today made me decide immediately to post one of myself before I did the usual girl thing and change my mind.
On a side note, I like my legs--always have. Being tall has its advantage and having long legs is one of them. I used to hate them for being so spindly, but they have gotten me through skateboarding, freestyle rollerskating, basketball, tennis, gymnastics, diving, swimming, dance, and a ton of other things I've enjoyed over the years--I will never complain about their strength or their length.
So, what's your proud part?
