Offended

I was doing my usual blog catch up earlier this week, and I came across an unassuming post.

Until a certain line.

It mentioned something derogatory about weight/body types.  It was a completely offhanded comment, and I'm sure that the author in no way meant to be insulting. Now, the line to which I'm referring was something along the lines of how she didn't want anyone to think that "her thighs touched in the middle" because that would mean she was fat and that might be "the worst thing ever".

Whoa. Back up there, because I'm pretty sure that my thighs have touched.  Since birth.

Has anyone ever seen these ads? They're awesome and I would highly recommend checking them out!

Over these past few weeks I've ready soooo many "I want to lose weight for New Years" posts, and I think it's fabulous we're all kicking our butts to be healthy.

However

I know how easy it is to get caught up into wanting to, and doing anything we can, to look like this:

But I think that we all (me included!) need to stop obsessing about weight, at least just for a minute, and remember:

 

Thank you gymnastics and cheerleading legs, I love you in all your muscular, strong, curvy, beautiful, thigh-touching glory.

This week I...

I'm starting a new thing, once a week, where I'll blog about my goals/hopes/wishes for the week. The idea is that by splitting big goals into weekly mini sessions, they will seem easier and less daunting, and I am all about easier and less daunting! And being held accountable by you guys should serve as a great way to keep me motivated!

This week:

I will go to the gym at least 3 times
I will only drink water/powerade/crystal lite/vitamin water
I will start/finish my Christmas list and send it to my mom
I will go to sleep before midnight every night

So that's it, I'll write another post next week letting you know how I did! Hopefully these 4 things wont be too hard since it's only for a week!
