I went to the beach today trying to enjoy my last couple of weeks here in Pensacola. All summer, I have felt extremely confident in my two piece among all the other beach goers. Today was the first time that I was a little self conscious about my body. I plopped down all of my beach gear, got out my lunch, and begin reading my book when I noticed the skinny chicks. Next to me was a group of chicks in little bikinis with bodies that looked like they walked off of a cover of Self magazine. Yes, they were hot. What caught my attention was the food they were eating. Here I am eating carrots, tomatoes, wheat crackers and light string cheese with my Diet Sunkist. I have worked hard to be able to wear this two piece! All of these skinny girls were chowing on Little Debbie snacks, oreos, (not the RF ones) and a huge bag of chips. And they were drinking regular soda! Can you believe that? I sat there in awe wondering how in the world their bodies looked so awesome when they were choosing crap to eat! Then my mind went to what I looked like before the age of 21. Yes, in those years you could have caught me sporting a bikini and eating junk at the beach. And yeah I looked pretty awesome. Then age took a toll and my body began to pack on the pounds.
So I told myself to be proud of my body. In about ten years, those girls will probably be on Weight Watchers because that junk food caught up to their bodies. So instead of being jealous that they can eat anything they want, I will remember that they too will wish they made better food choices when they were young!
dont worry i wont go to the beach next weekend so you can enjoy yourself. it had been a long while since i broke out the bikini. i am sorry for making you feel bad. it wont happen again.
Thanks Rich! I accept your apology. Next time I will appreciate it if you will sit far away from me at the beach so that I will feel better:)
i feel like i brighten peoples day when i write on their blog. and by people i mainly mean you. because i know of only two bloggers. one is you and the other is jake and diana. they usually don’t have many blogs that i can say something funny about. so really i mean your blog.
That last message was ridiculous!
Just know that your comments make me laugh:) I am funnier and cooler than Jake. Have been told that all of my life…LOL
I’ll come sit by you next time and you’ll feel real skinny.
You don’t want to be like those twigs. Real men want real women, not chicks that look like little boys. Don’t worry, you look just fine. And you’re right, it will eventually catch up to them.
