Total, and complete, frumpiness.<BR/><BR/>Hated my childbearing body, hated the way I looked.<BR/><BR/>But I looked in the mirror after I heard that song, and I thought, "Self...It ain't gonna get any better than this...when you were 20, you hated your body. Now you're 30, and you look back on that 20 year old body with envy. When you're 40 or 50, you're going to look back on your body at 30 and wish you had it so why the hell not enjoy it?"<BR/><BR/>Never really been the same since.<BR/><BR/>And you know what? I'm keeping those pictures of my legs at 40 to remind myself at 60 that I was f'ing hawt. :D Don't really care what anyone else thinks, but I am learning to love my body these days. It's the only one I've got.Troublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553273498093394669noreply@blogger.com
