What Body Image Means to Dumb Mom of parenting BY dummies
My body image has always been questionable at best.
Like what is this roll doing here?
Hair? Why would that have hair on it?
Another 3 pounds? Really? I swear I crapped three pounds this morning, so how could that be?!
Like that.
But, I’m trying to appreciate all of the homemade leaps and bounds my body has acquired over the years.
I can’t say I do yet, but I can say that I know I should, and I’m making an effort?
Which is part of the fight, right?
Accepting that you’re okay (maybe even better than okay?!) and then believing it every moment of every day?
I’m at the accepting it part, and now I just have to work on believing it a lot.
Which is partly what the Blogger Body Calendar thing was all about for me.
Believing.
That and @marymac.
Because I heart her and I thought if I took off all of my clothes and said it, she’d believe me.
Maybe if I hide in her bushes???
Let’s hope it never comes to that!
Dumb Mom is Ms. May and the creative force behind the humorous parenting blog parenting BY dummies. When she’s not being outsmarted by her three small dudes, she’s a professional blogger, freelance writer, and a photographer who reluctantly lives in the boonies of Western Maryland. She is accustomed to taking the girly photos, not starring in them so this whole thing is a huge deal. Please say nice things about her or she will, more likely than not, cry.

I believe you. And I love you. Also, you’re hot. Hang out in my bush anytime (wait, did that sound weird?) or, just come to the door and I will let you in and we can drink Jack and eat Slim Jims together.
