My body is pretty strong right now, but I definitely notice the changes in my skin and texture of my body as I get older. I’m 33. My skin has been stretched out from weight gain and loss throughout my life as I struggled with body image issues due to pressure from home to “be thin and pretty”. I’m pretty happy with my body overall at this point, but I work HARD at keeping it healthy. I think the part of me that I laugh at the most is my soft and droppy breasts. They have always hung low…I have envied the perky ones I have seen here and there…but I know that is rare so I try not to focus on it. My breasts are so soft and gushy and funny to me.

I don’t have babies to attribute my soft and stretchy parts to, but I can say that gaining and losing alot of weight multiple times leaves permanent reminders of my less healthy days. I try to think of these stretch marks and soft parts with love, tenderness and humor.
