Miss my badonkadonk... lol

[EllisM80]

I had an ex boyfriend's brother that used to sing Honky tonk badonkadonk to me every time he seen me but now I think he'd sing something about saggy britches. Lol. Lord have mercy, I never thought I'd lose my butt. My pants are struggling to stay up. Toning up after gastric sleeve surgery is a must but so hard when you have my schedule/life. Sometimes, I don't know how I find time to read y'alls posts/messages. I do have to say that on Monday, I sat by the pool while the kids swam. I wore shorts that were too big for me and an exercise top because I don't have a bathing suit. I wanted to get in the water but my energy level right now is at an all time low. Anyway, I already have a low self esteem and the saggy skin doesn't help. I used to wear tank tops when I was with my ex husband and he would make fun of my fat arms. After a few years of that, I found myself not wearing tank tops anymore and my arms never seeing the light of day. I want to get my confidence back and get my ex out of my head. I haven't been with him for many years but his words stick with me every time I look in the mirror. Thank God for counseling but it takes time to kill that voice that has been there for 13 years. I'm working on it and when I do, I hope I see him out and about. He will always be ugly on the inside and out but I'm not and I'm tired of him making me tell myself that I am... with or without a butt!

Rant over! Lol

I never had much of a badonkadonk LOL

I make a daily decision to spend whatever time I have on exercising. Sometimes it’s not much time. I made a commitment to myself to be the best me I am capable of being...one day at a time.

As far as the committee in my head...therapy is the best place to get rid of them once and for all. As you gain confidence in yourself, the committee will not take up free rent space in your head. You will decide to forgive (for yourself) and move forward.

Thank you for sharing your rant ;-)

Thank you for your response! That makes sense about free rent space in your head!

This is pretty much what I look like without clothes on

I have to say that I don't really care - and neither does my partner (lovely man that he is!).
Clothed I look ok. If I was younger and had the finances I might possibly try and do something about it but it is who I am now and I am a much healthier and happier person for having lost 60+ kgs so I am at peace with the saggy skin.

I am glad that you are having counseling - it can really help.

We are all beautiful people - and we need to stop listening to anyone (including ourselves) who are telling us otherwise!

Agreed!! Funny picture though! Exactly how I feel I look like! Lol
