Who’s that lady? Why, it’s me! And yes, it’s been FAR too long since I’ve blogged. Are we seeing the pattern yet? Crazy schedule, crazy life – but learning to create balance amongst it. Case in point: the 2-week sinus infection that took over my body. I wasn’t able to work out and was eating a lot of “sick” foods like soup and toast – but the minute I could breathe through my nostrils, I was at A Healthy Balance getting my butt kicked by Alicia (and gladly!).
In other news, I was recently featured in local STUFF Magazine‘s “Boston’s Sexiest” list. Weird, I know. Especially now that I’ve been going through this journey – and still being, pretty darn insecure about my body.
At the photo shoot for the magazine, it was a group of the top twenty-five “sexiest” people in Boston – and was quite a motley crew if I may say so – but everyone had that air of confidence and swagger that made them alluring. I, for one, was a great pretender, being overtly aware of being the largest girl there among some models and even a professional cheerleader.
The finished product! STUFF Magazine, April 10, 2012.
But since the mag came out, the feedback I’ve been receiving from friends (and even strangers!) has been immense – praising my confidence to get up there and strut my curves. So maybe I’m ready to spearhead a revolution for curvy, healthy women who don’t obsess so much? I’m going to try doing more of feeling proud of myself, and less worrying about what people think.
Good for you! You look great!
