What I'm Reading This Week #14
Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer. No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere. I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years. I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer. I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out. When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival. source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer. He lived authentically himself which is something we all hope to say when o...
I hate my moobs. Man Boobs to the lay person. I so want them gone. I have pretty much had them my entire life but there is no fondness for them and I won't miss them when they're gone... And they WILL be gone if I can help it!
ReplyDeleteI hate the intersection of my lower pelvis and my hips. There are bulges there that are just not flattering and things overhang. I'm more confident completely naked than with a pair of underwear (not granny panties) or bathing suit on. Clothing tends to highlight the bulges where as if I'm naked the bulges just flow naturally into eachother.
ReplyDeleteMy wattle (double chin), bugs me terribly! It's the ONE thing I can't hide or cover-up with clothes and when I substitute teach, the kids always comment on it. At first, it messed with my newly-rediscovered self-confidence. Here I went into the schools, thinking I looked NORMAL and then it was pointed out over and over again, that I will never look NORMAL. When I look at my before pictures and see how FAT that area of my face used to be, I am not surprised that I am left with that hanging flap of skin under my chin, but it still bothers me.
ReplyDeleteI used to think my baby belly, the area below my belly button, which never went back to the before baby status (my son is 18). But now, after not being able to lift weights for about a year and a 25-30 pound loss, I have to say my upper arms. They used to be big but firm/solid. Now they are bat wings! Arrrrr....
ReplyDeleteI can now lift weights again, thanks to a cortisone shot, so I'm getting my butt (arms I mean) moving!
It is my tire too. Makes me nuts. A daily hate relationship

ReplyDeleteMy abdomen fat. You know, the roll that makes the dreaded Muffin Top. I hate Muffin Top/love handle bulges. I know you can mask them a bit with the right clothing but I'd rather they just disappear.
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started. It changes by the day - but right now it's a toss up between my thighs and my abdomen.
ReplyDeleteMy bottom used to be but (no pun intended) my hubby likes it so I've learned to be ok with it too. So I'd have to say its my wings, you know the tricep flap! It never leaves.
ReplyDeleteMine is my big ol' gut and my ginormous boobs. Being a 42J is brutal on my shoulders. I have permanent train tracks in my shoulders so I look like a hanger where you can hang your camisoles without worry of them falling off!
ReplyDeletep.s.--job interview Friday.... =o)
My whole body hangs and sags, but it's worst on my stomach. It hangs down and gets in the way. I only have about 25 pounds left to lose, and I doubt it's going to be gone after that. The flapping annoys me so much!
ReplyDeleteYep - spare tire for me too! It's like a second set of boobs or something!
