Ever get that feeling that someone has implanted your head onto someone else’s body? Yeah, me neither until recently. When I was a kid, my mom would always say, “You learn something new, damn near every day.” It was just something she said, but I’m realizing it was true. As of late, I’m learning a lot about my body. It’s changing…like pubescent changing or something. When I’m getting dressed, I notice all of these differences…

Well let me see if I can break it down for you…There are all types of figures that we women have been bless with (or cursed with as the case may be) whether it be the hourglass or the pear or the triangle or the lasagna noodle. I have never been skinny or small for that matter. Well actually I was a small baby, but then they fed me and it seems as if I didn’t stop eating until I was 21. So the body I’ve had has always kind of resembled a beach ball with limbs.

Now, all of a sudden I have all these indentations and dips and curves—instead of just rolls. I went out the other weekend in some tight size 14 jeans and a tight shirt and went in at the waist and it was commented on many times that night that I had an hourglass figure.

The thing is since I’ve never really known a small day in my life; I kind of don’t know my body type. I had no idea that my butt was this noticeable until my waist started shrinking. Or that my boobs would STAY THE SAME EXACT SIZE! Goodness, they are starting to look like they need their own zip code! But that is besides the point… I am suffering through a plateau and maybe I’ve been a bit down on myself, but this new…discovery, I guess, has got me feeling better. I mean, looking good and having an actual shape…I might just keep this up.
