Body Image...

[MouseWife]

Geesh, body image and women.

I could list from my toes up to the gray spikey hairs that pop out of the top of my head. That would be too depressing and long so I won't.

But, what I do want to mention is this. My sis and I, both in our early 40's, well, we do the best we can. Kids and life taking their toll and we go with the flow and just try and age as gracefully as we can. Using sunscreen, trying to eat as best as we can and do good things for us and our kids.

Then, our younger niece, about 35, constantly has surgery. Her mom {our sis} tells us how good she looks. Hello? Of course, she's had lipo and every other thing she can have done.

Where am I going with that? I don't know. Just the way that is and yah for her if she can afford it but why then should we be expected to say 'Yes, she looks better than we do after having 4 kids'. No f'in sheit. Hello, I could also be damn good looking if I forked out a ton of cash.

Irritating because she really does throw around rude comments about us and how she claims to eat well and exercise, like that is how she did it.

And, LSPoorEyorick, I also can wear the same clothes but have gained weight. I know they don't look the same and I feel quite self conscience about it when I go out. *sigh* I wonder if people say 'Hey, she used to look nicer in that...' but I think that they don't, it is just me and my low self esteem.

CP~ Feet. Like I said, that is where my list would begin....hope the new shoes work.
