Small boobs, love handles, wide thighs...big mouth, need for approval, selfishness...the list goes on and on...
2 of my 12 articles are about my insecurity with my own body. Pretty sad. I don't really think about it most of the time, but every once in awhile the nasty though pops back up. Why do we have to constantly compare ourselves?!? Somedays I find myself thinking "I'm so glad I don't look like her" and other days "I really wish I looked like her!" Why can't I just be happy with who I am???
It seemed ironic that this morning in my inbox there was a link to an article about The Body Blues. I identified way too much with this lady.
Changing as we get older is natural and is going to happen whether I want it to or not. I probably look the "best" I'm ever going to look. However, one thing that can get more beautiful over time is who I am on the inside. If I continue to grow and become a better person, a more supportive wife, a more compassionate Christian, and later a selfless mother than I will be cultivating the kind of beauty that lasts and really counts.
That's not to say I shouldn't take care of myself. I like fixing myself up and looking good for my husband. I think it is important to try to stay healthy. In fact, my husband and I have started working out together on a regular basis and buying better for you food to keep around the house.
So today, I resolve to stop worrying about the things I can not change and focus on improving my inner woman. Don't be surprised if you see more articles on this subject...

Please tell all the women in your life what you sincerely find lovely about them. We need to hear it no matter how we might react. 
Most of my insecurity about breasts comes from the stereotypes I guess. It's hard to convince myself that he really doesn't care. But I guess I should believe him since he isn't prone to lying!
