A dear friend of mine (I say dear because we have known each other for some 15 years) has a fantastic blog called from Highlights to Housework, it is still only in the early days but has some great posts. The latest of these is about female body image with special concern to mothers.
As a mother of three I am not actually a supermodel. But then I never really thought I was... well not super... I certainly had some sort of model qualities about me in my younger years, not perfection but everything in all the right places if you know what I mean. Which at the end of the day counts for a fair bit.
Since the birth of my third little angel though it has been brought to my attention that I am in actually fact far from the model qualities of my younger years...unless of course there is a new modeling look that resembles a beached whale. This is all rather concerning for me and since it is a relatively new awareness I am not really sure how to deal with it.
Apparently there are a couple of fads going around called diet and exercise perhaps I should give them a go...in the meantime I will just remain in my little bubble of years ago
You're a model mother now! Still beautiful but in a deeper more meaningful way. Youth is wasted on the youth! (and if we get really desperate I think we could get enough mums together to get a group discount at a cosmetic surgeon!)
ReplyDeleteTo funny about the group discount lovely!
DeleteI have heard of those fads ... but I do a very good job of ignoring them :0)
ReplyDeleteYes I am still doing a great job of ignoring that diet fad but I have been biten by the running bug. Thanks for dropping in
DeleteOh it happens to all of us supermodels. No sweat. Thanks for Rewinding.
ReplyDeletePhew, glad to know it wasn't just me then! Thanks for dropping by
DeleteI have not seen anything resembling a beached whale in any of your photos Rhianna! You're gorgeous!
