I have a post/piece ticking over on the edge of my brain after being on the beach in NSW and observing all the different shapes and sizes and realising it doesn't matter a speck. It was beautiful to see all this women out in their swimmers on the beach just enjoying the summer and not letting their body phobia/ self loathing get in the way of that. I started to feel free. Then I came back to work and someone quietly suggested I 'had a pot, was I pregnant?' to someone else, only it backfired because I heard him say my name so I kept asking what he said until he/they told me. Now I'm all obsessing about my stomach and doing sit ups each day, eating less and walking more (which is probably all a good necessary thing anyway!). I read your post and thought 'hey yeah, I want to be in that place' so I told the guy today that my stomach is there to nourish the child I may one day have. 'Keep thinking like that Cecily, cherish that body, remember all it does.'<BR/><BR/>Thanks for another thought provoking post. I'm going to send my friend the link because her 6 or 7 year old very thing daughter thinks she is fat because of what the girls at school said!cecilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944264862462890029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733690203980990187.post-67358921948518028452009-02-05T00:09:00.000-07:002009-02-05T00:09:00.000-07:00Nice save, Angela!

Good going!<BR/><BR/>Funny how the older we get and the more our bodies become anything but the 'ideal', the more we appreciate their character, their strength, their loyalty through it all.<BR/><BR/>I like this post.

I needed it, and I'll practice this now before my daughter arrives. <BR/><BR/>Do you remember my heart thing - how I had to have surgery a while back? My chest still hurts very often, and now when it does, I put my hand there and feel it beating (though it may be irregular at times), and I thank God for my heart. It has changed my life. <BR/><BR/>Gratitude is gorgeous.

My heart is a home to my body. It can be a place of hostility or hospitality: forgiving weaknesses, overlooking flaws, enjoying the beautiful, providing a safe place to rest inside. I live in a good house. I know it. And that is such a good thing." <BR/><BR/>Now that's a lady that's got her head together. Maybe you've been through some rough times, but boy or boy these words are worth remembering.<BR/><BR/>Good for you for bringing India to that safe place.<BR/><BR/>I was given an award that I'd like to share with you.

I've been through seasons with my physical self and, no, it hasn't always been love and roses. But the pressures to hate what I know is a good thing come from outside me. Being thankful. Yeah. A good reminder. Anne Lamott does a great job with that subject, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
