PAGAN!!! Buuuuuuuuurrrrrn her!!
Good for you. When I look in the mirror I don't start seeing divinity... on the contrary, I don't even feel up to human standards... =/ |
Hehehehe.....yeah, I guess what I said and how I said it could have got me into trouble a few years ago, huh?!
I see the divine in you, Baker. Sometimes it's hard for us to see in ourselves what others think is blatantly obvious; I know I've done it for years now. You just have to let your guard down - you might suprise yourself.
| But when I look at my wife, I do see a goddess! The most beautiful one I have ever known! I hope Dave sees one too! |
I asked him, and he said 'of course'. It's been at his request that I haven't gone on a diet, actually. We were in a somewhat...um.....errr.....intimate setting the other day and he said 'please don't lose any weight. You look so good the way you are'. So, that's why I've said I won't crash diet myself away again. I wrote an article the other day about wanting to lose a few pounds, but now I'm having second thoughts. I'm not fat, I know that...I guess I just have to learn to appreciate myself the way I am. Today (this morning, when this article was spawned in my head) I made a bit of a breakthough, and as I said .... I saw the goddess trying to escape.

I feel more 'bloated blob' than goddess currently. I know when my belly rounds out more I will enjoy it a lot more. I just feel fat right now. I feel not pregnant enough for maternity clothes but too pregnant for regular clothes. Oh well, a big growth spurt is due any time now. I just have to get through some moodiness and feeling like just a blob for a while longer.
I can definitely see how you would see a goddess in the mirror though |
Aww, chickie! You're at that stage where you've lost your waist but you haven't quite got a bump yet, huh? And on top of that you've got all the extra estrogen and progesterone flowing that makes you even more sensitive about stuff.....yeah, this part of pregnancy is tough to deal with. But in a couple of weeks you'll be blossoming; you'll have a nice little bump to show off and you'll probably be feeling better because of it. It'll get better, trust me.
And thank you for saying such a nice thing about me!
| You guys have it a lot easier living up to the goddess standard |
Yeah, we do. Although Venus and Aphrodite made it tougher to be goddess-like with all their unequaled beauty n' stuff.
Yeah. Dave works with someone who looks like that, and she's scheduled for gastric bypass surgery! I'm not THAT goddess-like, and I hope I never am. I'm happy to be slightly Reuben-esque, thanks very much!
| as long as you do not grow another 4 arms and demand human sacrifice I am down with it! |
Nah, I'm no Kali. I'll leave the bared teeth and blood drinking to some other chick.
Stretch the body out, chip some of the waist and ass off, and tack that on to the boobs, and I'm a goddess! Hahahahahhaa. |
You ARE a goddess anyway. You just have to see it in and for yourself.
| I love to hear (read?) about women appreciating their bodies. It's refreshing. You are beautiful woman with an enviable figure, and what's more, your body has done some amazing things! |
Aww, thanks! I'm not that enviable anymore; I have jiggly bits where there used to be muscle....but that's okay. I'm starting to like it that way.
When I was pregnant with the boys Dave and I used to sit around in the evening with my belly exposed, watching the babies move around all over the place. Once, Davey stuck out an elbow and rolled over, swiping this big knot from left to right all the way across my belly - and Dave about got sick. He said he was cool with little ripples and the occasional big kick, but that was too much like Alien and it just took him by surprise!
| I always appreciated my body more when I was pregnant. Assembling (ok, not literally, but you know what I mean) another human being without a thought on my part is pretty incredible. And I loved the rounded belly. I think the curves of pregnant women are just so beautiful. |
I think pregnant chicks are GORGEOUS. if I could, I'd touch the belly of every pregnant woman I came across just so that I could feel the miracle inside them. What us women can do with our bodies is simply amazing to me sometimes.
| And thank you for reminding me that it is the divinity within us all that we should be seeing of each other. One of my favorite lines is, we are "we are not physical beings who sometimes have spiritual experiences, we are spiritual beings having a physical experience." |
I like that saying as well, and you're right about us all having a divince spark inside of us. EVERYONE has it, from the unclean in delhi to the Queen on her throne -even those who society has deemed 'evil' because of their actions. We ALL have it; we just choose different ways to deal with it. I've felt mine for a while now, but I'm just now seeing it manifest itself physically. It's really quite something to look at yourself in a mirror and instead of being crtical being able to embrace your shape and revel in your femininity.
| In the effort to find our place in the world, we often forget who we truly are. Sounds to me like you are catching on |
You're right: I am catching on, and it's a beautiful thing.
| I'm definitely closer to that interpretation of goddess than the playboy version |
Oh me too. Apart from a couple of years when i was really skinny and could have passed for an androgyous 14 year old.....yeah, I've been pretty much fertility symbol goddess.
| Our bodies are pretty amazing machines. |
Yes, they are, but a pregnant woman is a totally amazing piece of human machinery!
| The world can percieve it anyway they want, but to me there is just something about a pregnant woman. Call me weak. :~D |
Aww, Ted! I think that there's something incredibly attractive about a man who loves the pregnant shape.
| I think we'd all be surprised by the number of men who find pregnant women sexy (and not in the "you're having my baby, how wonderful" way, but truly "lets get it on" sexy)! Hehe |
Hehehe....I think it might be because there's nothing more feminine than a pregnant woman. Oh, and in the beauty stakes, Tex....yeah, you'd be way out in front. You sell yourself short, I think. I wish that I could show you yourself the way the rest of the world sees you; I wish that I could take away your preconcieved ideas about yoru body and show you yourself as you TRULY are.
