Not a Hollywood bod.

Hollywood would probably NOT view my body as perfect, and that's okay.

Frankly, I sag, jiggle, and have flab in places I ideally wish I did not. Sure, I have stray hairs that have to be tweazed from time to time. Cellulite is not always a stranger. Wrinkles and stretch marks? Yep, I've got'em (and I'll keep em' cause after all it's only natural). So no, I most certainly do not have a perfect body based on what we see in the magazines.

However, imperfections and all, most days I like the skin I am in. My body is what God created it to be, and does what God created it to do, sometimes in spite of me. Most days my body meets and exceeds the demands I ask of it. I know it isn't always, and may not always be that way, but right now it is. That makes me happy, and I don't want to take it for granted.

Thanks body.

Excellent points, Helen! I definitely complain about my 'sag, jiggle, and flab' areas - thanks for the reminder to appreciate for my non-Hollywood body anyways :)
