Recently, I noticed the 'girls' started sagging. Yes, that is right. I'm not sure when exactly it happened, maybe overnight, maybe gradually over weeks, who knows; All I know is that they aren't where they used to be. And while I realize this is a story for best feature, hang in there, I'm getting to it.

I remember the first time I experienced some body 'changes' WHERE nid=namely, saddle-bags, I was about 26. (Now I know you cannot see my full length picture, but I'm fairly small with a fairly tight package!) So you can imagine my dismay when things... weren't so where they used to be anymore. Now at 26, I was not happy about this at all. So, I worked out intensely and ate the healthiest food, but sadly, it didn't really change much. It was happening, I was getting older.

So, now that the 'girls' are choosing to embrace gravity. I thought I'd be pissed! But actually, I am not, and actually, I'm pretty ok with it. How can this be? Why am I not fighting to stay fit? Why am I not hiring the best trainer I can find? Well, because I am choosing to do something else.

I am choosing to embrace the me, that is me now. I am choosing to not go crazy with panic, to not feel bad about myself, to not go kicking and screaming into my bras. Sure, I am going to continue to work out and I am going to continue to make healthy food choices to keep myself fit. But most of all, I'm going to embrace my best feature which is the big smile that I have put on my face recognizing that the 'girls' and I are doing just fine. And I am ok with who I am and where they are.

My body may not be the body it was seven years ago, but neither is the woman and that is just fine with me.

Choosing to be happy with who you are and what you look like IS a personal choice.
