To each his own, personally, I don't care if someone is skinny and gorgeous or fat and ugly. I just care if they have a nice heart. And honestly, almost everyone I encounter does have a nice heart.<br /><br />Congratulations on still being a size 3. Very nice for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874897254332872367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-22754796781849120692012-05-11T18:52:48.861-04:002012-05-11T18:52:48.861-04:00If you eat healthy and kill it in the gym then don...If you eat healthy and kill it in the gym then don't worry about your size. I don't think women can be the same size as girls. I don't get the whole hard body 6 pack thing for women anyway. Being comfortable in your own skin is what you want your girls to see and role model. Besides you are little you posted a picture of your "fat" abdomen awhile ago and I cracked up. You had your back swayed and your stomach was sticking out an inch. I wanted to holler at the computer stand up straight put your shoulders back and then look for that "fat" it won't be there!!!Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-61575712347889892192012-05-08T07:45:26.241-04:002012-05-08T07:45:26.241-04:00We LOVE quinoa here.

Truly, it is delicious. Make sure you rinse it well before you cook it or it can have a bitter taste.<br /><br />We buy ours in bulk from our local co-op, it's a better value that way. :)Can do momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611213405581703181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-931102447835456512012-05-07T21:01:52.320-04:002012-05-07T21:01:52.320-04:00Oh my sweet friend...you know I care about aging. ...Oh my sweet friend...you know I care about aging. I care about my weight too. I have always fought it. I am finally seeing what I need to do to be healthy and fit. I used to say to my sister in law "will we ever quit caring about the physical when we get older?" We have agreed "no we will not". Call me vain but I am now honoring my temple and am grateful for what my body can do. <br />You are a beautiful girl on the outside but even more lovely on the inside. :) <br />I also have a box of quinoa I have yet to cook.

We each know what makes us feel good about our bodies.. I know after injuring my foot this winter and a lot of life changes, that I've paid for it with some extra weight that has shown up in the way my clothes feel. You are an inspiration to me Becky.. The way you take care of yourself inside and out motivates me a bit more. Thank YOU!!!<br /><br />Continue being beautiful Becky!!!<br />♥Lee AnnLeeAnn@Encouragement Is Contagioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115472068334541489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-67802306416149042852012-05-07T16:49:46.564-04:002012-05-07T16:49:46.564-04:00Loved this post girlie!

Refreshing!<br /><br />I think the key is to take care of yourself without it becoming central. So many ways to git check what is central (how you spend your time, money, where your thoughts go, etc.). <br /><br />A pet peeve of mine in Christian circles is when women use "my body is a temple" as justification for obsessing over their exercise routine, skincare routine, etc.<br /><br />When eating well and moving our bodies becomes a way of life, it's not an obsession. It's just how we live...like background music to a bigger show of God's glory in our lives. This coming from a girl who HATES the gym and resists conventional exercise. I know I need to treat my body a little better in that department. :)<br /><br />xo,<br />LinseyBravehearted Beauty {formerly LLH Designs}https://www.blogger.com/profile/04065147598634454504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-37464825804494100672012-05-05T01:07:34.258-04:002012-05-05T01:07:34.258-04:00Hi Becky, I've missed reading your posts.

I've been slim all of my life but I have not been a size 3 since I was in my early 30's? I have lots of body issues and I wasted a lot of time and energy on worrying about how I looked. I agree with you about taking care of our bodies. I use portion control, walking as my exercise. I miss using weights but that's life. :) Anyway, I no longer stress out that I may have grown another size etc... I am just trying to be healthy and try and look as good as I can. I put a recipe on Tuesday on my blog for baked stuffed shells. Not a healthy meal but I only make it once a year and I use portion control. You are such a beautiful person both outside and inside so you must be doing something right. :) <br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103572563333198645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-59370419502985231262012-05-05T00:01:29.705-04:002012-05-05T00:01:29.705-04:00I'm not a size 3 either, and I really dont wis...I'm not a size 3 either, and I really dont wish to be. I think my body is pretty rocking for having two kids and no time to work out, other than the occassional walk pushing a double stroller (which is harder than it sounds!), but I really do eat healthy and am conscious of what I put in and on my body. I love that you're proactive about it, and yes, you are beautiful! Added confidence doesn't hurt either.

It's hard when I workout 1.5-2 hours a day, six days a week, eat pretty well and end up gaining four pounds instead of losing the five extra from baby number three....who's TWO! Thank you for being real. It's so very refreshing in blog world to see someone being honest instead of faking perfect!<br /><br />P.S. I'm so glad you sold cuffs due to Shannan & me...although, you KNOW that was all Shannan. I have no clue how to add links to my posts. I'm sure it's the simplest thing in the world...however, I have the amazing ability to complicate these things! <br /><br />I know I said it on my last comment but I LOVE that white cuff!! I need to talk to my hubby, I think he needs to get that for me for mother's day :)<br /><br />One last thing (sorry this is so long!)... I know on Instagram you said running isn't your favorite thing but don't ya think it might be fun to get a bunch of ladies together and train for a half marathon? We could all train and then meet up for the race/Girls weekend!
