I Love Me Some Extra Rolls

You know the phrase "today is the first day of the rest of your life". I dont know who came up with that but it goes along with other phrases such as " Today isn't too late to be brand new" and "seize the day" (aka: carpe dium for all those latin buffs). but sometimes its easy to get stuck in all the stress and hooplah of life. Though today i woke up feeling rejuvinated for some reason and took all those phrases to heart.

i think some of it had to do with me and eric's (my bf) conversation last night. We have hit a point in our relationship where things got bad, and now we are trying to start over. I guess not really go backwords, but rediscover why exactly we love eachother, and move forward with that.

so anyways.... since today was my day off i slept in till like 10, i got my self some breakfast and caught up on my reality shows. (yes, im in love with most all corny mtv/ tlc reality shows that most everyone else hates lol). then after that i did my P90X. Today i did yoga x which is one of the easier workouts. Its very relaxing but its still works you pretty hard. While i was doing downward dog....

 

This is downward dog. This is not me.

so anyways, while i was doing this i couldnt help but look at my fat and flabby stomach and i thought to myself  "gosh things have changed since highschool." In highschool i had a flat stomach, sometimes with nice subtle abs to go along. i was never skinny or petite. its just not the way i was made. i was always a thick girl to be honest. But being on three different soccer teams, was working out hard everyday, an eating a lot less than i am now kept that in check. Not to mention my metabolism was rockin. now things are a bit different.

But in the middle of my pity party i told myself  "STOP!" i didnt need to be thinking those things. i mean look at my life. I have a wonderful boyfriend and awesome friends who love me dearly eventhough i may have gained a couple new rolls.

thats the thing people.... its doesnt matter what body God has blessed you with. you may be small and petite or a bit bigger boned. It doesnt matter, every girl is beautiful and sexy in her own way. Some bigger girls complain that its so hard to shop because stores to sell clothes for their body type. i say NO MA'AM! not true. one of my best friends in highschool named meahgan was one of those bigger girls. That was the body she was delt. But she didnt let that stop her from looking absolutly HOT everyday. She is a raw example of a girl that can be big AND be sexy. to this day she is prolly the best dressed friend ive ever had. The trick is buying clothes that fit YOU!! not the super models on magazine covers. they have their clothes and you have yours. God made ua all very different, but he did make us all very beautiful too. That goes for you too boys!

so i guess my point is today is to love yourself, no matter what you look like. <3
