It’s been very cold again today. I went outside for a walk and barely made it two minutes. It was nice after a busier yesterday to have nothing else going on today. Tonight for our family time we went to the store to buy ice cream. I normally do not care for it but tonight I did have some. I’ve been stalled out on my walking goals while this weather has been so unfit for walking. The scale has not moved in this month.

My limbs and extremities changed a lot over the past few years. I don’t think it’s stupid to talk about our bodies because I know that many women have things about themselves they do not like. It’s one thing when you feel it might be possible to change it but it’s another when you are sure or unsure if certain parts of you can change. A woman who has a mastectomy is not shallow or vain for missing who she used to be.

I tell myself that in dimmed light it doesn’t matter. But when certain summer clothes don’t look the same or you’re embarrassed for certain parts to be seen anymore it makes it different. I tell these women that confidence and how we feel is 95% attitude.
