Thank you Edna...that is the truth and I was never one to complain or care about my figure - I was always a size 5-7 and very happy with that. I now am a size 10 and really that doesn't or didn't bother me because my husband always says that I am beautiful and so is my body even though I think he is blind half the time.
I think I got a little down in the dumps because of my body type right now and trying to find clothes for the summer - I am 5 4' 136 pds and I have no boobs, a big butt and big thighs - so what do they call it? Pear shaped LOL :) very small frame on top and big on the bottom. I have no waist at all, but my butt is so plump that anything I buy is so big in the waist and it looks ridiculous. I need a size 4 for tops and a size 10 for bottoms.
I am very active but not as active as I should be - I am going to make it my business to take some time out for myself and do some jogging and weights.
The media does set ridiculous standards for women today and I realize that, but thank you so much for your advice - It really makes a difference. My goal is to get down to 120 pounds which was my pre-pregnancy weight, so I am going to set that goal for myself today and if I get there or close then great but if I don't then I will still love myself at 136.Love to all,
anxious babe
