Body Judgement

I've come to the opinion that most women judge their bodies rather harshly, and why shouldn't we? Everywhere we look there are photos of women scantily dressed, no bigger than a size four on the cover of every major magazine, TV commercial and reality show there is (as I sit here sipping a sweet tea and eating an oreo). Those poor girls have probably never tasted the delicacy of fried chicken in their life.

I'll admit I really try to stay in shape. I walk a couple miles in the evening and have most recently started doing tae-bo. I know Billy Blanks is old school, but dang it, I paid good money for those VHS tapes back in the day! Anyway, this evening as I laid on my porch swing I couldn't help but look at my long toned legs and think "damn they look good".

Just think... Mona Lisa was and still is considered by some to be a stunning woman of her era. Have things really changed that much? Guess so.
