My dirty lil secret

Received an email yesterday from Craig Lamere over at Moz Studio
asking if he could show my before and after re-touch picture on his blog

He is my friend
so I said yes
only on one condition
that it was NOT a before and after picture of my
rear
although it is a magical process

and I really do want everyone to enjoy the disappearing act

it mustn't be at the expense of my bottom

To go along with the admission of my celly belly bottomside

here is a little something my sis sent me last week

to help ease the pain
for those of you who share my prob
 

 without further adue 

I present to you 

"Celly Jelly"

because lets be honest 

real girls have celly  

and real girls accept it

Besides that,

other than Victoria's Secret Models 

who really goes to work in a bikini?

I assure you, 

I do not

SO
as I mentioned before for those of you who think I look pretty in my pic

(Thank you!  You make me feel like the million bazillion dollars that the VS models make)
  A.  Photoshop does wonders!
AND
B.  Don't EVER believe what you see in magazines

Words to live by

Body Beauty

So your have a great hair and makeup day

everything is going on smoothly, your skin feels fab

no zits, eyelashes look good, no mascara clumps

Your hair is smooth and shiny

and then...

you undress from your pj's

you get ready to put on your clothes

and something

devastating happens

YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR

enough said

It's time to take out the boxing gloves

cause it's round one

you vs. your body

it's on like Donkey Cong

wait a minute

TIMEOUT!

So you mean to tell me you are going to go up against your body that:

-can walk miles a day to get us where we need to go

-uses its eyes to see others and the amazing world we live in

-has skin to protect us from harmful germs that might make us sick

-can use touch to caress or soothe a loved one. can also express love for others without words

-can think, when problems arise you can analyze problems and come up with solutions

-procreate and bring new life into this world (one of the most amazing, I think)

-can feel and experience a whole range of emotions, including happiness, sadness and surprise

So why is it that we verbally abuse ourselves?

We are amazing

Women! Our bodies are amazing

We need to concentrate on what our bodies can do for us

and less what "we think" our bodies should look like

I for one am trying to make healthier choices

However, NO DIETING

I do not believe in them

They are an absolute waste of time

If you would like to learn more about healthy eating habits

I suggest you try reading this book:

It's AWESOME!

I got this book from a fantastic nutritionist

For more information on this book and its authors go to

http://www.intuitiveeating.org/

It totally changed my outlook on dieting and how to have a better relationship with food

One of my favorite principals from these two authors and nutritionists is:

"Respect Your Body Accept your genetic blueprint. Just as a person with a shoe size of eight would not expect to realistically squeeze into a size six, it is equally as futile (and uncomfortable) to have the same expectation with body size."

amen
