old softie

So while I know how very lucky and blessed I am to have two very beautiful and healthy children, it does not come without consequence. I was never the epitome of the figure of a goddess but I wasen't in poor shape either, in my younger years I am speaking. But now it seems that my body is really starting to show it's age. Especially when I look at myself beside one of my children. I feel wrinkly and dull and well, soft. They are young and vibrant and beautiful. Now don't get me wrong, I hold no ill feelings because of the changes my body had to go through to have children, I just wish I could see myself the way my husband does. I am trying very hard to love my body and embrace it for all that it is but I admit, that is a very hard thing for me to do. I am committed to getting myself back on a healthy track though, no matter the time frame. In the meantime, I will try to come to love me for me...soft spots and all.
