So once again I have neglected this blog.  I always say, "oh I should make a post about that."  Then I get busy or tired or playing on facebook and never do.

I "updated" the look of the blog.  Some day I will settle on one, I promise.

In the meantime this pic I saw on facebook has been on my mind a lot.

I was drawn to it because honestly I prefer the ideal's of the bottom one then I do the top one.  Because I am over weight I wish more people on tv and in movies looked like the Dove girls then the Victoria's Secret models.  Thing is, what does it matter?  Are all of the women in both images pretty?  They are.  If one is starving oneself to look a certain way that is bad.  If one is overweight and unhealthy because of it, that is bad.  One can be super thin and be naturally healthy.  One can be over weight and still be healthy.  It isn't the size of the body that matters but what you do with it.  How you live your life.  I do want to lose weight but not because I "should" be a size 2 or whatever.  But because diabetes runs in my family and getting my weight down will help keep me from getting it, or if I do get it, managing it better.  I should not have to lose weight to find someone to want to marry me.  I was basically this size when David fell in love with me.  He saw me for who I am, not just what I look like.  And if my big old butt was good enough for him then to heck with any man who isn't willing to look past it.  I wouldn't want to be with that type of guy anyway.  I wish we as people, and especially women, could look at each other and not say "do you see how big/skinny she/he is?"  Because size is not the only thing you are.  You can be the "perfect size 2" but be cold and cruel.  You could be a size 32 and be the most wonderful, loving, giving person in the world.  The old don't judge a book by it's cover is so true.

Each of us have something about our bodies we don't like, no matter how "perfect" we appear to someone else.  I realized the other day that I can look at someone and say I wish I looked more like them.  But you know what?  There might be someone out there who is heavier then I am and they could be saying they wished they look like me.  It's all in perspective, isn't it?  And thus ends my deep thoughts for today.
