I have seen the devastation this mentality of never measuring up can have on a woman's psyche, and it's painful, so painful. I am finally getting over some of it now, and I am nearly 40. I don't want this for my daughters.Adonis Devereuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002740463114696646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816173109439616793.post-43405806811976365992013-06-06T18:32:46.912-07:002013-06-06T18:32:46.912-07:00The unwinnable aspect of the battle is the worst p...The unwinnable aspect of the battle is the worst part.

I, too, have had children, six for me, and breastfed them all. My body is ravaged from that. But, yes, it is the truth of who I am, and I would rather be WHO I am than be some other person who is more beautiful.Adonis Devereuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002740463114696646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816173109439616793.post-76096368363524751982013-05-16T20:53:25.989-07:002013-05-16T20:53:25.989-07:00So well written.

Even in elementary and middle school I was considered overweight, especially when compared to most of my friends who were perfectly thin. We're all different.

We are recognisable as a family by our long, thin arms and legs, and sadly, in later life by the fact that the ONLY place we put on weight is around the middle, which, medically speaking is the worst place.
