Subject: RE: Sexy, or Notwwlani - 2012-02-19 9:10 PM As one of those "softer" women - thank you - I will never ever have abs like that - I'd like to someday have a flatter stomach but let's be real here I'm going to be 44, married 21 years with a 15 year old - there is only so much time in the day to work out ^^ What she said. I'm in my thirties, have had two children (by c-section, one of which had to transect all abdominal muscles due to crash situation), and no matter how much I work out, will never be a skinny and ripped woman. Like all things, there needs to be a balance: by beginning to train for a triathlon, I'm learning to put caring for myself as more of a priority, but caring for my family will always trump the laser focus on my physique. Also wanted to give a big hug (yes, there are melons involved LOL) to the guys who have written some lovely things in support of healthy women who look like women and how it encompasses more than just physical stature. (briderdt, skipg, Leegoocrap, thebigb, RBesecke, just for starters... MWAH! <3) wwlani: For the record, I think you are beautiful. Granted, it has something to do with caring and insightful responses I've seen around the board, but even just from a superficial and visual point, you look like a strong, healthy, gorgeous woman. Rock it, girl!!! |
