I Love My Boobs

Did that get your attention? Well, it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Everyone needs to perform self-checks every month - even men. My mom battled the suck-butt disease for 30 years before she won and went home to be with the Lord. Check here for a diagram of how to do it.

Now back to MY boobs...I look at the progress pics I have taken lately & I notice that I am losing fat in an area where I would like to keep it...yeah yeah yeah. Men, keep reading, I won't go into too much detail.

Being overweight has its advantages. For whatever reason, I never had a bad body image; even when I was at my heaviest. There were days I was unhappy with what I saw, but for the most part I compensated for what I didn't like by showing what I did - my boobs! So one of the things that I have had to adapt to is having a much smaller rack and the realization that I will most likely end up with two fried eggs on my chest wall by the time I'm done. The interesting thing is that I like being able to easily button blouses and wear wrap dresses without wondering if I'm gonna pull a "Janet Jackson". Also, I have come to the realization that I like showing everything off! No need for compensation. Bow chicka wow wow!

So maybe it's not your boobs. Maybe there's another area of your life where you are frightened by change. With change comes courage, with courage, growth. Isn't that what we are all striving for? To grow as people? To develop our character and make a difference? This fitness journey parallels everything else in my life. I am learning discipline, self-worth, a desire to serve, and a strength of character. I take comfort in the fact that I am designed for a purpose. Take time today to look at an area of your life that is evolving. Is it forcing you to grow? Fulfill your purpose. Get out there and make a difference.

See you in the gym!
