Sometimes I wonder if this is why I am this way....

Sunday, June 17, 2012

So, we were wandering around Walmart this morning...we, as in my parents and I. There to look at the camping and RV stuff, we wandered over toward the workout things a few aisles over. My mom stopped to look at some magazines. I jokingly said, "Looking at all the muscle-y men!?" Her response: "No, looking at these gross women!"

Wondering what in the world she thought was gross, I looked...

This is what she saw:

I thought to myself...Really!? She looks AMAZING!!!!

After thinking about this more, I guess in a way its good that my mother doesn't like that because then I grew up with a view that women aren't really needing to be thin and fit. But then again, maybe that was my downfall...

Maybe my parents mistakenly put it in my head that I didn't need to live up to anything...which then tells me that I don't need to worry about my body...

Guess what, now I do!!! Oi...

Maybe I'm all wrong on this...ha, I don't know...Point is, I think it's funny that my mom thinks that gal looks gross...when I think she looks beautiful!

    Bet your Mom was reacting to the six pack. When I grew up, women did not have muscles like body builders. But it is good to be toned. And yes she does look amazing!
