Irritatingly enough, we BLOGs keep getting warnings about how husbands “wander” when wives let themselves go. I know what you’re thinking: “What? NO WAY! Mine is an angel! Besides, he loves me the way I am!”. The mere suggestion of a drifting husband may be considered ludicrous and therefore laughed off at the time, but sure enough a worry starts gnawing at your insides. How long will it take when your “angel” starts getting fed up of the way you look? How long will his patience be tested? Sure he loves you the way you are, but why make it tougher and tougher for him to do so?! Truth be told, you KNOW you’re taking up most of the bed and yet you take offense if hubby dearest even suggests any weight gain.
So the question is why DO we let go of ourselves? To be very frank, we BLOGs love to perpetually pass the buck in this regard. We blame it on lack of time, on kids, on our careers and running the house. We blame it on inattentive or distracted husbands (he won’t notice anyway!). And we even blame it on low cash reserves (why not spend it on the kids instead?). Although there is much truth in all this, the bottom line ladies, is that we put ourselves at the bottom of our own priority lists. And in doing so, we turn into unrecognizable, frumpy slobs. It’s a shame really, because all women by nature, love being attractive. Get real…who doesn’t want to look beautiful? Even the most brainy and career driven women who want to be admired for their brains rather than their bodies still want to look attractive.
You know it doesn’t take all that much, just a little bit of effort and time. Try to dress presentably all the time, not just for special occasions. The very least you can do is make sure your clothes are clean, your hair doesn’t look disheveled and your face is a little touched up. Get rid of the pregnancy weight once and for all. Blaming your kids for looking like a hippo just doesn’t cut it. There are plenty of women out there who manage to return to their normal weight. Just watch your diet, choose healthy alternatives over junk food. Join a gym. If you can’t go to a gym, go for a regular walk instead. You don’t have to have a killer figure to look good…just try not to grow to the size of a killer whale! Change your hairdo after every few months or so. And puhleez ladies, leave the facial hair to the men! Don’t grow a beard and visit your beautician once a month. It’s OK to pamper yourself once in a while! We give so much to others….why not give a little to ourselves? It’s important for our own sanity to spend more time on ourselves. Don’t do it because it’s expected of you, or to impress people. When you do it for others, it becomes more of a chore to be performed for others. That’s not the way to go about it. So don’t do it for others, do it for YOU. Do it because when you look good, you feel good. Above all, do it because you’re worth it.
So go girls! Be beautiful… inside out.
