Keyword is learning. While I do not have any current "full body" pictures I assure you I have a full body. If you were to meet me say, at the local store or at the park you would know I am overweight, curvy and have given birth to five children. You will notice that I am in fact where glasses so I can see if someone is throwing sand in my kids eye and not for some fashionable purpose.
I have taken up walking and the ocassional bike ride. If the kids are asleep and I am all alone I will indulge in the free 10 minute workout. I have lost some weight gone down a size or two. This does not in anyway make me more womanly or beautiful as it would be. But, for me....seeing curves and lines is amazing. It reminds me "this is my body". All these curves and softness are mine, this is my body and I should love it.
Yes, I have once of those wonderful mothers aprons. I have learned that after five kids I should not expect to have Angelina Jolie abs...but, be thankful I have children from my own body. my hips are wide and my thighs are not completely tones. I am short and anyone that towers over all five feet two inches of me would see I have large smooth breasts one slightly bigger than the next. The skin on my face is not all creamy and one color...but, it's mine. I have freckles and moles here and there...they are part of what makes me....ME!
My calves or toned and strong. I have bony ankles and elbows. My shoulders are soft and tan. When I look in the mirror I have learned to see the beauty that is me. Black hair that touches my shoulders and wisps across my forehead. A nose a bit wide but, perfect for my round face. I see the colors decorating my arms and chest....all an extension of what is lingering inside of me.
So if I lose 100lbs or stay where I am...I am happy that this curvy, soft, tan body is mine.
Love and Soft cuddles,
