Earn it....

I saw this yesterday on Facebook, and it really spoke volumes to me.  Would I love, love, love to have this body?  Fuck yeah.  Will I ever find myself doing what it takes to get this body?  Uh, no.  But I so appreciate it when you see people who are willing to put in what it takes to get this body, or any body they feel comfortable with.  One of my oldest friends, made a comment under this picture that she could never have a body like that, no matter what she put into it.  It made me sad to see that.  I'm sorry she saw that picture and thought that.  When I see her, I see a strong woman who has worked hard her whole life to have the amazing body she does.  She's never been able to see it, though.  But trust me, she's always in great shape.  When women see her, they want to be like her.  Hell, I want to be like her.  Anyway, I put this picture up here just to prove a point,  mostly to myself.  As much as I'd love the body I want to come easily.  It's not going to.  It takes some work.  But I guess if you're going to work at anything (and I do mean anything),  it should be on your own metal and physical self.  I don't use the word, "anything" lightly.  Taking care of ourselves should come before anything else.  I know so many ppl who do this.  At times I can admit, I've even thought of them as being selfish with their time.  What a cunt for ever thinking that.  We have one life....we have to love ourselves, before we can be our best selves for any other person on this earth.  I'm so blessed to have my head on straight (well, admittedly it's still a little crooked, but I'm working on it) today.  I need to take control of these days, where I actually feel in control of myself.  As the saying goes: do something today that your future self will thank you for.  I know...  I sound like a hypocrite writing this inspiring blog, when I've been unable to conquer my own demons.  But today is another day.  Today, I will live for me.  Plus, I'm in a really good mood.  Brian and I had an awesome night.  Trust me, I wish I could tell you about it.  Hell, I wish I could make it my facebook status, but a lady never tells!  Haha.  Good thing I'm not a lady.  I'm sure it'll come out after a couple of cocktails to some of you guys someday.

Oh, you have no idea how proud I am of figuring out how to copy this picture and put it on here.  lol

Happy Lord's Day,

Jen
