Featured Body

you better realize you're hot...like...now.

my mom at 28...just 2 years older than me now. total hottie.

In which this week's "Featured Body," msh258, gets a dose of wisdom from her hottie of a mother.

Sundays are usually my days to catch up on the 'real life' activities that I inevitably neglected throughout the week. So, yesterday I did all the laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. that needed to be done and then I popped by my mom's place for coffee and a chat. I love those! Anyways, at some point she showed me some pictures that my older brother came across recently of her in her late 20's, just a couple years older than me now. She was a total hottie!!! When I said so, she just responded with a 'yea! I just wish I knew that then!'

That statement made me think...I've had my share of body issues, and I finally feel like I'm working past them, but it made me realize more than ever that I don't want to be critical of myself and my body, especially only to realize in a few decades that I totally had it going on! I just think that we all tend to be overly critical of our appearance without honoring our body for all the amazing things it can do! It's not like I recently took a look at the scale thinking: damn! Thank you to every ounce of me for allowing me to kick major ass in the gym! Well anyways...just something I was thinking about.
