I'm guilty of the above. Regardless of how fantastic our life is RIGHT NOW, I check myself in the mirror and actually think "life would be perfect if I could be skinny''. Silly heh. I see wrinkles appearing where before there was just uncreased skin. Ageing is a constant thing that pays no respect to individual wants.
This little saying is from the My Paradissi blog and I think I may take it up. WHO cares if I am not skinny? I don't like or dislike people by the size of their arse. So what does it matter. So I make this pledge to whoever reads this. I, Linda, will be happy and healthy and enjoy this summer even if my size is not model proportions.
Silly i know - but we all do it!
ReplyDeleteI reckon as long as you excercise & eat well even if it doesnt turn you into Lara Bingle you'll still feel great! Plus as we all know the boys like a bit of curves AND mine is always ogling women in their 40's (when he has me in my 20's!) if it makes you feel any better! ;) Plus i think your an awesome person & ive never seen' you - thats what counts!

Thanks Sal .. the power of positive thinking has hit me and your comments made me smile (-:
ReplyDeleteIt's human nature, I guess, to always want to something else, somewhere else, have a smaller "arse", etc. By the way, I love the word "arse"!
ReplyDeleteReally, when you can only change so much, you just have to relax and be happy with yourself and your life. It's taken me a looong time to work this out.
Have a lovely day!
Yep, it's good to be happy with who we are. As long as you're looking after yourself all's good :) BTW, saw your lovely umbrellas in Jamie Durie's new magazine last night! Pity there was no-one else home for me to say...ooh look, I 'know' her!!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda!
ReplyDeleteIt is really nice to meet you too! Your blog is very beautiful and inspirational and I’m following you for sure!
Of course it is ok to use one of the photos I’ve posted, you are soo right with your sayings!
With love, Eleni
Linda, this is all so true, it sux that the size of our arse can really spoil our mood when it comes to having fun. I think I shall join you in your new philosophy. Im 39 & have 4 kids, Im not mean't to be a super model!
ReplyDeleteJanis (pineconecamp) .. glad you worked all that out .. I'm still learning (and oh no, did I spell 'arse' wrong - is it meant to be ass???)
ReplyDeleteKerry - you were one of the first bloggers I ever talked to .. so it is ME who should be saying I know HER (-:
Eleni - thanks for joining my blog - and for sparking all this chitchat about how we should be happy with who we are now!!
And Trish - my gosh - 4 kinds and you are under 40 AND you have time to run such a beautiful blog. You deserve an award. And glad you can join me in this new way of thinking. I'll email you should I start looking in the mirror too long
THANKS LOVELIES
