The only thing that matters is what YOU think. Of course, if you're like me, you are your harshest critic. But I do like a challenge, and so it's OK.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way?

It's all about who has gained, who has lost their baby weight, and what size your jeans are. <br /><br />They make me feel (no, I allow myself to feel) that my opinion is not important because I am not a size 6.<br /><br />I dislike that...and wish it could be changed.Fantastagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415501560624761755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18298740.post-24168552182121468102007-01-09T13:26:00.000-08:002007-01-09T13:26:00.000-08:00I just had a conversation about this with another ...I just had a conversation about this with another blogger. There are health issues to be considered with weight, but beyond that, why do we care? Why can't we ever focus on what's inside a person rather than what's on the outside?<br /><br />It's all so sad when you think about it...problem is, so many people never bother to think about it.Blogaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907539670169738329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18298740.post-62017591676888684352007-01-09T12:46:00.000-08:002007-01-09T12:46:00.000-08:00Yup!

Etc.<br /><br />When I was first pregnant, barfing my guts out and miserable an interesting thing happened. My brother told me he had been talking to my father on the phone and during their conversation my dad asked him how I was doing. My brother replied "She's great! She's thinner than before she got pregnant." Which I guess, was why I was great. Rather than terrible, which is how I felt. <br /><br />We are all so messed up.<br /><br />Thanks for writing this. I too am constantly striving to accept myself the way I am if for no other reason than to be a good role model for Miss A.Mama Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581319298585887199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18298740.post-81078401211114730192007-01-08T19:10:00.000-08:002007-01-08T19:10:00.000-08:00Oh, I LOVE the Ladies Detctive Agency books.
