And he is just amazed that I think that about myself. He said he never believed that women thought that until I said something about it all the time.<br> I to struggle, and know for my female counterparts it's a lot rougher after having kids. A friend of mine is always complaining, and all I see is her size 2 ass after having four kids. Yeah. we all have issues. and Katherine. I always thought you were beautiful and have many times compared myself to you. (You always come out the winner, not just int he looks dept.)<br> But I think every woman has these issues whether they make them known or not.Emma Lillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13017597845102999127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131288126385666341.post-18669696795395857202009-08-27T18:36:03.279-07:002009-08-27T18:36:03.279-07:00When I was in 8th grade, I weighed 108 pounds.

I look at high school pictures of myself and I'm shocked because I was thin and cute, but felt like I weighed about 300 pounds.<br><br>Now I'm older and, shocker, I actually am overweight. And I feel the same way about myself as I did back then.<br><br>I'm glad there are seems to be a slow and steady push toward putting normal people out in the media. It will take awhile, but it'll happen.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06972093977468313631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131288126385666341.post-76984696420963622112009-08-27T20:20:47.961-07:002009-08-27T20:20:47.961-07:00You're right.

We juggle many things we often do not name: knowing we need to be healthy and exercise and then feel and look good/home, families, work;careers, education, social, religious or political involvment, husbandry in one form or another, caring for an extended circle of friends or family, transportation and shopping...it is not a small list, once apportioned to slaves, then to servants and now to the family circle, the tasks to maintain our lives are still significant and an image that makes most of it possible is vital to being capable.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509744198516888727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131288126385666341.post-63652750188851106852009-08-31T23:20:28.579-07:002009-08-31T23:20:28.579-07:00I am still waiting for stretch marks to become fas...I am still waiting for stretch marks to become fashionable- maybe one day;)Trinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04039482999685738183noreply@blogger.com
