Don't Fake What the Good Lord Gave Ya - Alternatively - Botox and Booties and Breasts, Oh My!!

I've been thinking... yeh.. I know.. I need a job. I think too much.

It seems that once we hit a certain age, we begin to obsess over all of the things that we don't like about ourselves. Our hair is too long, too short, too straight, too curly. Our butt is too big.. too small.. too round.. too flat. Our boobs.. well.. let's not go there, shall we? Sadly, the age at which this obsessive thinking starts is getting younger as time marches on.

It seems we come in to the world screaming.. go through it complaining and go out of it regretting. I'm thinking this really isn't a good thing.

Please don't get me wrong. I'm not pointing fingers. I'm as guilty as the next person for looking at myself in the mirror and criticizing almost everything about myself. I'm working on changing the things that bother me the most mainly because of what they're doing to my health, more than what they're doing to my appearance now though.

I look at the lifestyles of the rich and famous. The uber-popular. The people that can't go outside without being blinded by the flashes of the paparazzi's cameras. They live in huge mansions.. vacation in huge cottages.. drive expensive cars.. eat expensive meals.. wear expensive clothes... you get the picture. What I'm seeing a LOT of them doing, however, is changing what God gave them. Mostly, their bodies. I mean.. seriously... do you think that Pamela Anderson Lee Anderson Rock Anderson Lee Anderson would be the same person without the implants?? I do... well.. kind of. I believe that she would be the same person.. but maybe just not as popular as she is now.

It seems the grass is always greener on the other side. Someone else always has something bigger... better... or, in my case... smaller. :) So... we spend our time and our energy wanting... wanting to have what they have... be who they are, etc.

Well.. I'm here to say that I'm sick of being this way and starting today I'm going to accept myself for who and what I am. I am still going to adopt a healthier lifestyle and pick up my exercise level... but I'm not going to obsess anymore about what might or might not happen as an end result. I'm just going to do it and love myself on the way to wherever it is I'm going. No more obsessing... no more regrets.. no more jealousy.

I mean.. we have psychiatrists to help fix the mind, cosmetic surgeons to help improve the body, teachers to help develop the brain, doctors to help heal our bodies and health... and the list goes on and on. I'm not going to try to put anyone out of business... I'm just saying.... I'm not going under the knife for any kind of changes.

I'm not going to burn holes through the faces of the pretty, slim young ladies with my jealous stares anymore. I am unique. There is nobody else like me in this whole world. I have no reason to want to be anyone else. I'm going to be 100% real!!! 100% ME!! Anyone care to join me?

~~ Peace, LOVE, and Happiness ~~
