Sorry it has been awhile...
I have had a few ideas for a blog idea but I never had the motivation to sit down and right...
One blog idea was about numbers...
Numbers play such a big role in our lives. Numbers can tell us what we are worth, how much we weigh, what size we are, where we are, what we have done, etc.
Women let numbers dictate how we feel about ourselves too much if you ask me. I know not all women struggle with numbers to the same extent and men also struggle, but why? Why do we let others put worth to the numbers? My sister recently wrote a blog talking about different sizes and shapes of bodies and being your own kind of beautiful. Media tries to tell women that to be beautiful one has to be so small!
A size 8 is now a PLUS size model!! What is that?! I frequently where sizes 8 or 10 and I would not consider myself to be plus size! I don't mind the way I look and am working on feeling great about my body! Small mannequins modeling the clothes does not help! I loved going to David's Bridal and seeing a size 10 mannequin!
In addition to trying to make myself feel better about my body I had Andrew hide the scale! Stepping on the scale and not seeing the numbers go down really frustrates me and discourages me! Why do we let the numbers mean so much? What we see in ourselves is what should matter!!
I could go on and on about why numbers frustrate me and at times mean more than they should but this is going to turn into an endless rant...if it hasn't already...
