Body Image
I am one of those odd women who has never really had body image issues. I actually like my body. Ok I say that, but lets face facts: I have always thought I am to tall (5' 11"-6' depending on who is measuring), and after 3 kids my favorite parts have changed just a little. but all in all I am very satisfied with my body. While teetering on the see-saw of normal to overweight I have never felt fat. I have my days when I look in the mirror and think I look HOT and the days when I think not so hot. But mostly I just don't think about how my body looks all that much. Until... I see a overweight woman holding one of my babies and... I get jealous. Yes you heard me right. Jealous. Why you may ask does this cause me to be jealous? What kind of weirdo am I? Well.. while being blessed with a long relatively easy to maintain body, I am not blessed with a baby friendly body. The length of my sternum is LONG and I am not big chested. Babies are constantly head butting me in this no fat zone area. I feel like I'm going to knock a baby out! In my head I picture babies looking at my body and thinking "I don't want to cuddle that!" But they look at a heavier more endowed woman and think "Now that's my spot!" I know, I know. Babies don't think like that! It's all in my head, but there it is. My body image issue.
