Embrace Your Body Week 2010

The Mommyologist is hosting Embrace your body week 2010. I think this is an amazing idea. So many times us Mommies  women spend all of our time picking ourselves apart. We never focus on our assets. In fact, when you are exhausted, covered in spit up, wearing Yoga Pants, focusing on everyone else's needs and wants; its pretty damn hard to feel sexy or even cute. But this week is all about embracing what we have and not focusing on what we don't have or how we wish we could improve it. So, against my true nature I am going to find a few things I like about my body; right now, as is!

1) My Boobs. They may not be where they once were but let me tell you, they look pretty damn sweet in the right shirt/dress/ bra!

2) My Teeth, they are white and straight and they show the world when I am happy. My smile lets my girls know that I love them and I am happy to see their faces every day. The same smile welcomes my husband home and lets him know how much I missed him while he was away. I have a huge smile so good teeth are certainly a plus!
 3)My hair. Yes, I know I have been complaining about my little brush with dermatitis but overall my hair is awesome. It is long, full (Normally) , it can go straight or curly and there is a load of it. It makes me feel like a woman and very sexy.


4) Last, but probably my favorite part of my entire body...my UTERUS! If it weren't for my uterus, I would not have my beautiful girls. Because of my uterus I have given life and was able to meet my most precious daughters, Bella & Gabi.



These are my four things. What are yours? We all need to find something we love about our bodies.  Life is too short to let our flaws or what we think are our flaws get in our way.  It is time to love ourselves and our bodies for what they are not for who we think we should be.Go Link up and love your body...love yourself!
