Gentle Giant
So, lately I've been working out a little more, trying to keep active,
you know....and today I realized that my posture has improved -- YAY! I
stand a little taller, I sit up straight in my chair..I even walk a
little differently.
This is great news! Yeah, it seems trivial, but studies suggest those
with good posture appear more confident and physically fit .. and OTHER
studies suggest those with confidence and good looks not only make it
further in life, but they get LAID much more frequently as well
--- YES!!! This whole posture thing is the solution to all of my
problems! Who cares if I'm actually self-conscious and somewhat
over-weight as long as I don't APPEAR to be..........right???
Of course, my new-found perfect posture has added at least two inches
to my height...I sit at my computer chair and have to look down at the
monitor. I look in the bathroom mirror and think, "my god the sink is a
long way down"...I sit on the toilet and think "holy shit, it took a
long time to get here".....but the point is - FUCK I'M TALL.
I mean, I know I always was, but I never really knew, know what I
mean? And here's the kicker - studies show that most men in my age
group are intimidated by women taller than them....OTHER studies show
the average male is 5 ft. 10.... . . . .
SO, the moral of this story is (in case you were wondering) -
just be happy to be you. Small, tall, skinny, fat, freckled,
spackled, feathered or furry...we always want what we cannot have...
learn to love what you already do.

p.s. Thank-you to those of you who have been responding to my journals over the last couple of months. I love you all and appreciate the comments you've left me...especially considering the depressing nature of some of my entries..
Thanks for simply letting me know you were here when I needed you most...even if you were miles away : )
