Real is what?

But that is what is real. That is the show I want to see so we have less of a perfect image to look up to. A real person with baby fat, or just over 35 with a gutt pooching over the pants, and some wrinkles with makeup smeared. That is who we should look up to.

To be able to look good while doing what ‘normal’ folks do, now that is impressive. I would love to see a hidden camera in those television cooks kitchen. I can just imagine it now, frozen dinners, take out and I just know they have a pot holder hanging with those fancy pans above the stove for when company comes over.

Is there anyone out there like that for us to look up to. The only instance I can even remotely remember is Jamie Lee Curtis when she did a magazine ad and wore a body suit and didn’t allow them to touch anything up. That is real, but did or would any of us do that? Of course not, that would mean we aren’t perfect and don’t have a body ‘that won’t quit.”

We have to be happy or better yet at peace with what we have and what we look like. Most of us, if not all, can't afford trainers, nannies and cooks to keep us fit and sane. So to look at those stars and beat ourselves up is not fair, we look good, we work hard and need to recognize that. So I will try my hardest to not cry when I look in the mirror and notice the flap under my arms waving at me, or the pooch that won't go away and be who I am, AMEN.
