Everybody has their 'thing'

While most of us can look in the mirror and pick our least favourite body part, but how many of us can say our best? How many of us ever stop to think that maybe even supermodels have their insecurities about their bodies? Everyone has their 'thing'.

Everyone can say a multitude of bad things about their body, but there will be one 'bad thing' that gets the top gong for their most concerning body area. For me, its always my tummy, always has been, always will be, and I think the same can probably be said for most people. It's easy for those of us carrying a few extra pounds to find 'bad things' but what about our thinner peers? While I look at my gorgeous and super thin friend Bex and go green with envy over her flat tummy and slim arms, she does the same thing when she looks in the mirror as the rest of us. Whether you're a size 6, or a size 26, you can bet that when you're there beating yourself down in the mirror about your tummy, or your thighs, or your boobs, somewhere, someone, no matter what their size is doing the same.

It's tragic, but sometimes it is nice to know you're not alone, after all, misery loves company.

But everyone also has their 'good thing.' Just ask any of your friends. Just as sure as they have something you want, you have something they want too. I want Bex's flat tummy, she wants my generous DD's.

Everyone has their thing. Yeah, you know what, my tummy is flabby and stretch marked, but my boobs are the envy of my friends (and a few random strangers at the pub) and I should be proud of that.  I also must have pretty amazing hair because there were an extraordinary amount of randoms coming up to me and stroking my hair Friday night. Uncool, flattering, but uncool. They didn't even ask. I'll take a compliment wherever, and however I can get it though!

So next time I look in the mirror, I'm going to see amazing hair and banging bangers instead of a wobbly tummy and bingo wings. It doesn't mean they're not there, or they're going to just disappear, I'm just chosing to see the glass half full.
