    Do you ever feel like the "real" you is trapped inside a body that couldn't possibly be yours? I'm young (okay not chronologically but I FEEL young), I'm adventerous and free spirited and wanna look the way I feel. Instead I'm buying my clothes in the plus size section of WalMart desperately searching for something that isn't "stretch", "forgiving" or reminiscent of something my mother used to wear. Ack!!! How did I get to be so darn frumpy!! Well, that's just got to change. My 13 year old and I belong to a waterski show team and I am determined that this time next year. I WILL be one of the girls in the ballet line and I WILL learn how to swivel ski and I WON'T have to have the costumer make an "extra large" for the one and only fat lady on the team. I AM going to get my butt to that 6:00 am spinning class three days a week and I AM going to balance my fat tush on the pilates ball two days a week and I AM going to waterski on the weekends even if I don't resemble all the other size 6 teenage girls. I'm a grown woman and I can do whatever I want. Who says that fat chicks should stay on the sidelines. Who cares what other people might think. I don't. I'm doing this for ME!

    I feel better now. Thanks for letting me share

    Hey! Hope you can manage being as positive as you sound! Personally I think the real me is someone who looks good in jeans- not quite as exciting tho.

    Good luck

    I hate to see myself in windows, I am sorry but thats not ME! I love to camp and hike and I am tried of people saying "Are you sure you want to try this?" I am going to break out this year and find that person in this body that needs to be in the light!
