CONFESSION - Obsession With My Belly
Okay, I am not normally a vain person and I am not obsessed with my looks. However, lately, I find myself constantly checking out my belly! I find myself admiring the stomachs of Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Madonna, etc. I am constantly checking out other women's bellies! I am becoming dissatisfied with my lumpy stomach and my potbelly.
What is wrong with me??? I am more rational than this!

I am one of those secretly worried about my weight people. Everyone thinks I eat what I want and I am so thin naturally but I worry all the time about my weight! I am obsessed with it. I weigh myself every morning and night. I calculate calories of everything I eat. I read new diet book that is out there. But I guess it is working cause I am not heavy but still it should not be this hard.
I have to admit that I suck in my belly all the time, all day. I try on new pants with my belly sucked in.
Men are jealous of other men's stomachs too. WE are not alone on this. Flat stomachs have been a national obsession!
I come from a long line of individuals who have obsessions. I used to weigh myself all the time. Finally, I had to get rid of the scales. Yes, I actually threw it away, in fact. I stopped obsessing and only get anxious just before I step on the scales at the doctor's office. I have gained weight slowly over the last few years, and even though my husband finally bought another scale, I've decided that life is too short to obsess over weight and flat bellies. Good luck to you all in your obsessions. Just remember, the person you're obsessing over with your stomach tucked in is probably obsessing over the fact that you have a better voice, a nicer smile, or prettier hair. We women must begin to make peace with ourselves and our bodies, especially if we have children who learn more by what we do and how we act, then what we say. May God bless!
Learningstreet,
Thanks for comment! I agree...I am getting better at not obsessing too much on my belly! I got plenty other things to worry about! :)
