Always wanting something different…
Do you ever wish that you looked different?? Wish you were taller, had a different body type, whatever the reason?? Well for many years I always questioned myself and was so mad that I didn’t have this or didn’t have that, in my physical appearance. After many years of not liking my body I have finally come to the realization that, I am who I am. I use to always flip the Victoria’s Secret catalogue and think..”oh I would love to look like them”. I always wanted to be tall, skinny, slim and slender. Instead I was always short, stocky, muscular and had a little more junk in my truck then they did. It took many years to finally come to the terms that I am built this way; God gave me this body for a reason. I haven’t always loved myself, in fact I use to hate my body and my legs and my butt… I could go on an on. There are still things I wouldn’t mind to change..but that is why I work so hard..to make the best out of this body that I can. I think I look good..I am not as skinny as I was 3-5 years ago, but then again I was young and still growing and had a faster metabolism. I can say that I am a lot healthier and I feel the best I EVER have in my life. I have a great satisfaction now because I feel so healthy. When I eat crappy foods and when I don’t workout, I can honestly feel it. I feel unhealthy for a few days after, until I get back in my groove and back on track. If you have a positive attitude about your goals and your body good things will follow and you will be happier and you WILL achieve your goals!
So the bottom line is..it’s not how skinny you are it’s how you feel about yourself and being comfortable with your body and in your own skin and the health benefits that go with all of it.

Having a positive self image, and a positive attitude help so much when trying to reach goals. Goals serve as a source of motivation, and to help challenge us to be our best. I feel the key is not to settle, but to enjoy the journey towards becoming the best you possible, and support others in their quest. I can’t let others define me, but I do best when vaced with a challenge, and enjoying the struggle. Good luck reaching your goals.

So true. No matter how perfect and beautiful you are I think you always wish for something else once in a while. You seem to have a very healthy attitude about your image . . . which you should, you look great! Keep up the good work!

I agree. I prefer feeling good about myself. I will know when that moment hits because I know what I am capable of looking and feeling like.

One of your best pictures on here is not when you are at your skinnest, You are a beutiful women, with a great body.

God made your truck special, and the media socializes us to think that we need someone elses truck and so its what we buy to cover up what’s inside.
But to the beanpole dames in the magazines, well, they ain’t it, miss thang. More men are realizing what Sir Mix-a-Lot said was more than just bubble-gum rap. Heroin/cocaine-chic will come and go in cycles, as all fashion does, but the science of health and its correlation to the external aesthetic will become more prevalent and shift the frame of how society sees beauty.
Being comfortable in your skin, and having a strong body to reflect a strong mind is what’s sexy, however, it should be remembered that internal problems can’t be solved exclusively with exterior solutions.
Self-consciousness, in measured does, is useful, as are most things in moderation, however, it is confidence that is, more often than not, the sexiest weapon in the arsenal of anyone’s persona.
