I am gonna take it a bit farther....
I love watching Cougar Town because it is funny...It is not meant to be serious...
BUT...why is the friend Ellie (Christa Miller) who looks as though she has had a serious Botox/Facelift....continue to pick at her self about aging and looks. Like Shana said in her comment..."when this character is shown with cellulite, 50 extra lbs of baby weight, wrinkles, bad hair, and stretch marks then maybe I could relate! I just don't see what she's complaining about otherwise".....Every time she starts whining I want to throw something at the TV.
My Self Image Weakness is...
My weight has changed many times in my life. I have been thin-ish, I am overweight, and I have been average. In the last 4 years I have lost 100 lbs...kept it off...and then gained it all back...
Never in my life have I been the size of my peers...I am 6ft tall...I have always been two heads taller than everyone else...and I have NEVER been bone thin. I am a 'thick' girl, even at my thinnest, I could only get down to a 10.
At what point do I accept that I am always going to be plus sized? I am not saying I want to stay a size 22. I would be very happy in a 16-18. And when will the world accept that size 16 or even 22 is beautiful?
I have noticed on the days that I am dressed up, I get treated much better, than those days that I run to the store in my sweats. Why is that?? Skinny Minis run all over town in their jog bra and yoga pants, but Plus-Sized gets treated like slobs when they wear their equivalent outfit??
BUT, in that same thought...I seem to feel more confident in my 'dress-up' clothes than I do in my work-out gear. Maybe because I feel more put together, not so slobby...
I think that we all need to work on how we feel in our skin. If we feel good and great about who we are, whether size 2 or 22, it will spill out into our everyday interactions. When we feel good, we walk taller, smile bigger, and glow brighter.
My Goal...
From now on, whether I am in work out gear or Sunday Best, I am gonna feel confident in it. I will not allow myself to feel like a slob. I may not apply make-up everyday because I am out sweating and exercising, but I will style my hair.
What is your Self Image Weakness??
What is your goal...to feel better in your skin??

2 Moody Thoughts:
I just want to look at myself and not care how others may perceive me. So what if I gained some weight since having my daughters...I love them way more than any number on the scale will ever say.
And another goal? Not to say anything negative about their weight. Knowing from experience? That's why my self image issues are so low. Always have been...until now. I am promising myself no more!
Awesome post!
Thank YOU!!!!
I walk 2 miles a day. I eat 70% good for me-healthy-small portioned meals. My weight issue is that I am not willing to give up that 30% splurge food. If I am gonna spend $5.00 at Starbucks...then damn it, It is gonna taste good!! And if I am gonna go out with the girls for lunch...then I want to eat something Yummy and good...I can eat a Salad at home any hour of the day..but.. I know I wont be cooking Gooey Cheesy Lasagna any day soon.
I think that once I take responsibility for those choices I make, Then I will feel confident in my plump behind...cuz I will know that I got it from eating a Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Crunch!!!!
