I know, I know…it’s VERY wrong. But don’tcha think there is a skosh of truth in it?
I’m reminded of an event I always meant to post about - happened a month or so ago. My mother-in-law told my husband that my sis-in-law has lost - like- 70 pounds. I must admit my first thought was “Oh MAN! Now I really have to work hard so I won’t be the fattest at the Christmas party!”
Aint it awful?!!!!
I am, of course, happy for my sis-in-law…

I know I’m too good at looking at other people and criticising how they look, and carefully forgetting how I look. And then I remember and I’m like “Doh, really must do something about that” and so here I am…

I found myself always comparing myself to other “fat” woman. Always glad that “I wasn’t that big”…I was…just didn’t want to see it. I think or rather know that I still do that. I’m working so hard on it. There are so many reasons for all of us as to why we got where we got.

Now see… I do that. But it’s not all bad. I look at other women trying to get an accurate picture of what I look like. I don’t know about you all, but I have frequently thought I looked better than I did - only to be shocked by a photo. I used to point someone out to my hubby once in a while and say “Now, okay - am I as big as that?” sincerely wanting to know.
Now I’m looking at fit women trying to find one that I can mentally point to and say “THAT is what I’m going to/want to look like” Haven’t found the right one yet. The skinny ones are too skinny!

Ya’ll are being so nice and dignified about this so I’ll be the one to come out and admit that I have not only done it about other women’s bodies, but their hair, nails, clothes, and shoes too. Thoughts like, “She may have a cuter butt, but I have way cuter shoes.”
And yeah, the photo thing. My mirrors must be magic or something ‘cuz I can go around thinking I am all that only to see a photo of myself that same day and be stunned, and not in a good way.

Well now that is the only fun thing to do at the Marine Corps Ball when you’re not a drinker! My husband and I have been playing Rate The Dresses for YEARS!
What gets me is the trend of putting on an exquisite gown and not doing your hair or your make-up. Wassup with that?! Just looks weird. If I’m going to do it - I’m going to do it right. It’s the one day a year I paint my nails. From top to toe, every inch is carefully thought out. You should see all the work I’m putting into making my Ball Jewelry!!
Oy. I think I’m getting shallow.

Blest,
I’m jealous of the ball. My husband was a Navy man before I came along. I have always dreamed of having an occasion to get all done up for aside from our wedding and that was really simple. I want the gown, makeup, glitter and glamour!!
