27 dresses came out this weekend and i suddenly realized that i may not have 27 bridesmaid dresses hanging in my closet but there are at least 27 things i can't wear hanging in my closet. nor would i want to wear again!
the body definitely changes form after pregnancy - not finding much pleasure in looking at myself in the mirror lately. thought i would share, in case you can empathize. even though i moved to the north, the rest of me is still living down south!
i heard a comment from Demi Moore the other day about aging. she was quoted saying something like, "you can't fight wrinkles and sagging body parts - you can play around with it, and hope for the best however the inevitable is going to happen." unfortunately, she has spent 30,000 dollars in plastic surgery over the years only to realize what us poor folk already know - our better years are behind us :) i am doing my best to embrace what age brings about, wisdom, patience, understanding...and such. however there are times (a lot more lately) that i just feel plain old no matter how you slice it.
this just pushes me on during my workouts, in my classes and in my personal life. a lot of my friends and family comment on my motivation in life and determination to succeed. i think if i had to pin-point a reason for it all, i would have to say that i am definitely one of those types of people who refuse to live an unhappy life.
i refuse to allow myself to give in when challenges arise. i am just like most women in all other areas of my life, i get tired and down on myself. i have feelings of inadequecy and times when i think things are hopeless. what saves me is the fact that i can, in fact, do something about it.
i am evolving into a person who is constantly trying to find balance in my life between the social, emotional, mental and physical. when one is down, i have to work harder to bring it into balance.
i also find humor in most of my inadequecies - which helps me be a little less critical of myself. if you can laugh at yourself, than the rest is a piece of cake. which brings me to end of this post. about those 27 things in my closet that i can no longer wear... i will just have to do some shopping now, won't i?
i am off on another journey - a 1.75 mile one!
