My Butt is Big
And round like the letter C
And ten thousand lunges has made it rounder
But not smaller
And that's just fine.
Its a space heater for my side of the bed
It's my ambassador
That herds skinny woman
Away from the best deals
At clothing sales
My Butt is Big
And that is just fine
And those who might scorn it
Are invited to Kiss it
Just Do It!!!!
I absolutely have never read or heard anything that describes the way I feel about being a big booty girl as much as that quote above! I love that.
Imagine sitting in a room with all of your best girlfriends. What do you hear? What topic always gets brought up? Beauty, weight, fashion!! OK and guys but, this blog isn't about that and I'm not sure there is a blog big enough for that subject nor, do I believe I am qualified to try and figure that all out!! lol! Appearance is so important to all of us. I believe there is a fine line between being healthy and happy and being overly obsessed. I have friends who have curly hair and cry that they would do anything for straight hair. Tall woman want to be short and the short woman would do anything to be able to reach a glass in her own kitchen without a stinkin step stool. Big busted woman want to be just a bit smaller upstairs and us big booty woman wish we could donate or booties to the poor woman with flat hineys! We really are never happy! We are never satisfied. We should really be ashamed of the way that we beg for this and pray for that part of our body to disappear. While I believe with my whole heart that God wants us to treat our bodies as a temple, I also believe God never intended for us to eat one saltine cracker a day and run 5 miles up hill so that our butt looks perfect in the new bikini we just bought. I think God (being a man) had a more simple and logical plan (lets face it girls we aren't simple nor logical). He made a very obvious and might I add PERFECT choice when he made each of us! God intended for us to eat healthy, exercise and take care of our selves. He wants us to take pride in the way we look but its a shame some of the things that we do to ourselves to feel beautiful. We go to extreme measures for such silly reasons and the truth is that most of the time when we reach our almost impossible goal, we still don't feel pretty. Before you start ranting about how woman should do what makes them feel good, let me just say, I agree, within sane limits that we should do what makes us feel beautiful or sexy however, I don't believe that surgery, diets or torturing yourself to be a size that is not healthy for you to be will make you feel any better. Sexy is an attitude!
I think 99.99% of the time the way we feel about ourselves has nothing to do with our outer appearance and everything to do with our inner junk. Some of the most beautiful woman are horribly sad, angry and tormented by something so they try to control the only thing they can and that's the outside appearance. I also believe that the reason we are so hard on ourselves is because we are so hard on each other. How dare we make comments about each other. Despite what you have heard woman are not put on this earth to size up other woman. We are all uniquely made and who are we to tell someone else how to look? Maybe that scar from a c-section on that girls stomach that we just think she should cover up at the beach is her most proud feature because she was never suppose to live to see the baby she bore but, she did. The girl who is almost 7 foot tall that you so judgementaly made fun of well she got her height from her dad who died to soon and thats really all she has left of him. The girl who has burn scares on her face that kinda make you feel uncomfortable are because she drug her children out of a burning house and saved their lives. All of these things that we so easily judge are reasons these woman and ourselves are beautiful. Its the hurt, courage, and fight that we have in us that make us beautiful and we have become so insanely shallow and vain that we attack each other for flaws in appearance. Why? Oh, we should be so ashamed!
Lets make a change. Lets stop trying to be that model on the cover of cosmo magazine because the fact of the matter is this. She is photo shopped to look like anything but, herself. How sad for her? Let's stop sending messages to our teenage girls that they have to be a certain size, height and build to be beautiful. Lets teach them to see the beauty inside and to also appreciate the beauty on the outside. Lets teach ourselves and our children to maintain reasonable goals for our appearance. There are so many other things in life that we should be concerned with other than our looks. Don't you agree? I have a good feeling that if all of us woman could come to terms that we all have flaws but, we are all also beautifully made that more things would come easier in our lives. For instance, men!
Everyday we should look in the mirror and thank God for all the things he has made us. Matter of fact, I think everyone that reads this should go to the mirror and look at ourselves and tell God 5 things we are thankful for . Ill go first
Thank you for my eyes. I love the color and the shape.
Thank you for my smile because for a long time I wasn't happy enough to have a real one and now because of you I sport a permasmile!
Thank you for my small waist.
Thank you for the birthmark on my ankle because it reminds me that I am one of a kind.
Thank you for the stretch marks that remind me that you gave me 2 miracles and although I should have eaten less foot long cheese coney's from Sonic and walked more I'm still beautiful despite all my scars.
Ok, now its your turn. Heck, ya know what. Leave me a comment and put your prayer to God there. I would love to read and see what your thankful for. No negativeness. Its your maker your talkin too after all. Hello God don't make junk!
Ill leave you with this last quote
"Your just like God made you so embrace that, love on that. I know how hard it is some mornings to look in the mirror at yourself and all your imperfections and be stoked about what you see, let alone feel loved, but how about today we try? I mean what the heck if God sent you here looking that way I have a really good feeling we are who we are for a reason. Know today that you are adored, God adores you, and if you don't believe that then that's cool too, you don't have to. It does not mean at all that you're still not adored."
Take care of you
T dazzle
Ok T, only for you! =)
ReplyDeleteThank you for my eyes. I like the color of my eyes, but not only that, but for giving me the ability to see through these eyes.
Thank you for my white freckly skin. Although, I normally complain about it, it keeps me from frying myself in the sun and causing harm to my body.
Thank you for my large chest, who most people pay LOTS of money for. (LOL Had to say it)
Thank you for my thick wavy hair, which I complain about most of the time as well, but I do cherish it from hearing so many women wish they had it.
Thank you for my healthy teeth that I can wear a smile on my face I am proud of, showing my happiness in life you have given me!
That was actually a little hard to do, I felt like I was being full of myself =) But I do love this blog so much, awesome thoughts that make me feel so much better about the things I call "flaws"
This reminds me of the 25 Things About Me that TDazzle also made us do. It was uncomfortable and challenging but in the end after I was done I realized that I'm not too bad of a person and that maybe my friend T wanted me to realize that. So here goes....
ReplyDeleteThank you for my my little point on my left ear, although I used to hate it, still don't like it, it's a part of me & my beautiful daughter was blessed w/ it too! LOL
Thank you for crazy hair b/c even tho it's a pain sometimes, for the most part, on most days it's cute! :)
Thank you for my smile on my face b/c everytime I get the chance to smile it makes me realize that I have a pretty darn good life.
Thank you for the lil' bit of stretchy skin I had on my belly b/c it is a constant reminder of the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Thank you for my growing belly b/c everytime I see it or my pants seem a lil' tight it reminds me that I have an incredible miracle growing inside of me.
(bonus) LOL
Thank you for my heart b/c even tho' it has been broken multiple times it has also been filled w/ so much joy and happiness too. I wouldn't trade feeling both bad & good for not being able to feel anything at all!
That was hard! Thanks TDazzle! Awesome blog by the way!! Love ya!
I love reading both of your comments and could go on and on about both of you and your beautiful features and your beautiful inner selves as well. I hope that you both learned a lil something about being good to yourselves and to not judge others so quickly! Not saying either of you are judgemental but, the truth is we all are a some point. thanks for doing as you were told. you did great.
