Is that an ELASTIC waistband Mommy??

I’ve just read some posts in such a funny blog! The blog is written by a mum named Karen and her sense of humor is just what i needed to get my day going! Take a sec and check her blog out here.

I have to share one a quote from one of her posts. The post is called “What I’m Wearing (or not) These Days” and this is the quote:

In the meantime, it mightn’t hurt to ask yourself, “Have I sold out my self-esteem for an elastic-banded waistline?” If you don’t like the answer that comes back to you then perhaps it’s time to go shopping?

I love that… “have I sold out my self esteem for an elastic-banded waistline?” part. How many of us have done that?? I did for about 6 years during my pregnacies of course but also for 4 years after my youngest was born - then I just said “Enough!”

Nowadays I’m with Karen in her opinion of the bulky clothes. My big clothes have been turfed too, I’m 20 pounds lighter (with 15 to go) and I can actually see that I just might be in a bikini this summer if I really work at it.

I refuse to buy into the idea that just because I’ve given birth twice I can no longer have a great (or at least pretty good) body and dress stylishly. What do you think??
