Black and White Body Image
This photo turned out a bit fuzzy due to low batteries but I took it with the intent of talking about my unclear body image. So, I don't mind it's fuzzy. I've run 8 marathons and recently I've let my physical activity dimish to a less athletic amount. It feels good to give my body rest but it it's a difficult transition for me as well. If I put my entire idea of my body into the category "athlete" what happens when I no longer am one? Am I still strong? Am I still worthy? Am I still attractive? You don't need to answer these questions. The answer to all of them, in my own mind, should be yes. The fact that it isn't the answer means I need to spend more time on things other than athletics.

Great photo, I love the shadowy look. And I hope this doesn't sound pervy, but I like your moles and belly piercing.
My athletic activity has diminished a lot since I quit running. At times it was kind of nice to not have that be such a big part of my life, but I'm ready for it again. It doesn't really come from wanting to feel worthy, but it just physically makes me feel better. But if I said I didn't want to reduce my gut a little too, I would be lying!
And your "marry me" comment: just imagine me reacting like George Michael did!
You are so so cute! But you are beautiful inside too...that's the good part because that beauty never ages and keeps you attractive your whole life.
Great picture! Mary from Tchotchkes...can't seem to get on my account!
Yowza.
Hey, did I say that out loud?
look at that flat stomach!
